I suspect the best idea here is to create a bare bones request_req on
demand, and then use this same request_req for all the subrequests to be
fetched in that batch.

This isn't very clean, a request_req is just a structure, they should be
relatively simple to make. Look for the code within the core that brings
the request_req into existence for the first time, you should be able to
see how it gets created.
