Are these all running in one transaction, or is this usage growth across
multiple transactions? If this is all in the same transaction, what
happens when you do these queries in independent transactions?

If you actually have sufficient data to make having 500 indexes on a
table sensible, it strikes me that this memory utilization may not be
the biggest issue you run into. If you're looking for partitioning,
that's much better done, in PG at least, by using inheiritance and
constraint exclusion.
