Based on the output from activity, loop through the ImportApprovalWorkitem activity till all work items are approved or one of them is rejected. 

<Transition FromActivity="ImportApprovalWorkitem" ToActivity="ImportApprovalWorkitem">
   <Description lang="en">Test that all created Import Master Catalog approval workitems have been completed or someone has rejected    workitem.</Description>

                     result = ((wicreated) &&  (numberCompleted < numberCreated) &&  (!((response != null) && (response.equalsIgnoreCase("Reject")))));
                     System.out.println("Transition ImportMasterCatalogInternalApprovalWorkitem to ImportMasterCatalogInternalApprovalWorkitem result - " + result + " Created = " + numberCreated + " Completed = " + numberCompleted + " Response = " + response);
