I just use plain old SQL to do these tasks - use the select statements to generate your inserts:

set pagesize 0
set verify off

  SELECT 'INSERT INTO a(a_id, name) VALUES ('
         || a_id || ', '
         || '''' || name || ''');'
    FROM a
   WHERE a_id = &&1;

  SELECT 'INSERT INTO b(b_id, a_id) VALUES ('
         || b_id || ', '
         || a_id || ');'
    FROM b
   WHERE a_id = &&1;
