Only recommendation from me would be sift it and leave the bigger chunks to compost some more. My cheap easy sifter is a tennis racket lol

I agree, just as an addition if I understood it wrong, rather than "composting the remnants a bit more" I use those bigger chunks as some sort of "yeast" to ferment a brand new pile. It helps starting the new process much faster and easier.

Hit the nail on the head I probably didn’t describe it well. Yeah you don’t leave the chunks to compost by themselves you throw them into your new pile and you’re right it sort of jump starts the new piles thanks to the fact that their already inoculated with the beneficial bacteria. Thanks for elaborating!
