Could this be a simple use case for a while loop?

I was thinking something like this in an action chain:

Code:

while select($identifiers, 'mobi-asin') do columnupdate_identifiers_amazon() od

Which, if I understand right, would loop the template until mobi-asin no longer exists and thus resolve the 'needing to run it twice' issue.
