I have over 7000 sample images in my test suite, and I wanted to test ExifTool by editing a small cross-section of them.  This command worked very nicely (and efficiently) to run ExifTool on 1% of the files:

exiftool -fast3 -if "not $filesequence % 100" -artist=phil -o tmp/ DIR

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
