You might want to check out
  "Techniques for Testing the Quality of Parallel Pseudorandom
   Number Generators" 
by S. Cuccaro, M. Mascagni, D. Pryor 
in "Proceedings of the 7th SIAM conference on Parallel Processing
    for Scientific Computing", pg 279-284
They do a good job talking about testing parallel rngs and reference
a Tausworth generator that Pryor gave a talk on at SuperComputing 95.

I'm not sure if the period of the generator is long enough for you 
though.

Hope this helps.
