As an aside you're tracking parcels and not particles - it's a terminology issue from when the model was first introduced. 

With 50% incomplete you have a lot of mass stuck somewhere in the domain. That may be a "success" for a separator, but also suggests some more care should be taken with boundary conditions. Using the Particle Tracks panel skip some (with 30k in the system 300 isn't a bad idea) and see where they're going.  Increasing the particle max steps may be a good idea, but use some care otherwise you may be waiting a long time for a DPM update.
