The few times I've done RP with large groups of people? Everyone got a turn. That was it. We all got our first posts out and then continued going in that order.
This was only broken if people split into groups. When that happened it was handled one of two ways. Method one was the smaller groups were expected to go at a decent pace so they could be brought back together without time skips or stuff being role played privately. Method two was some sort of action would happen that everyone would get dragged into regardless of how far they'd gone.
It really just comes down to having a lot of patience. I got my start derping around in chat rooms like everyone else but it was forum/PM/IM RP that really got me hooked and it's easily my preferred style. I've never had a problem with an RP going slow or taking awhile so long as the other people involved posted regularly and didn't drop out. So really my advice is slow down, you don't have to have a strict post order but try to give everyone a turn, and be prepared for a looong campaign.
