Yes, in the movie we see Saruman pouring the last of the gunpowder into the bomb with a small phial as I recall. If he filled them this much at a time, it would take a while to get more than a few done by the time you were marching.

And the not firing bit was probably just dramatic effect, or wanting to save arrows.
