Title: Split dataset by node: index error when sharding iterable dataset
State: open

### Describe the bug

Context: we're splitting an iterable dataset by node and then passing it to a torch data loader with multiple workers

When we iterate over it for 5 steps, we don't get an error

When we instead iterate over it for 8 steps, we get an `IndexError` when fetching the data if we have too many workers

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Here, we have 2 JAX processes (`jax.process_count() = 2`) which we split the dataset over. The dataset loading script can be found here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/distil-whisper/librispeech_asr/blob/c6a1e805cbfeed5057400ac5937327d7e30281b8/librispeech_asr.py#L310

# just keep the text column -> no need to define a collator

# define some constants
batch_size = 256
num_examples = 5  # works for 5 examples, doesn't for 8

# try splitting by node (we can't do this with `dataset_text` since `split_dataset_by_node` expects the Audio column for an ASR dataset)
dataset = split_dataset_by_node(dataset, rank=jax.process_index(), world_size=jax.process_count())
# remove the text column again

Comments: cc @lhoestq in case you have any ideas here! Might need a multi-host set-up to debug (can give you access to a JAX one if you need)I am also facing the same problem. Could you let me know if you found a solution for this?I couldn't reproduce with the latest version of `datasets` 2.16.1, can you update `datasets` and try again ?I have a similar issue when sharding for multiple nodes. I am using datasets 3.2.0.

```Hi ! on which dataset ? can you share a code example that reproduces the issue ?
