First of all, thanks for taking the time to post in the correct forum. In return I should take the time to at least try to answer your question. 1) If there is a real persisted wait-state in this loop, you should not get a stackoverflow. 2) If I understand you correctly, you want to have e.g. a node in one 'leg' of a fork go back to the fork node but as a new loop? That is not advised (though it might work, you could give it a try in a unittest). Using recusive subprocesses can be done.
