Well, it could be done to some extent, though in my opinion it's better to
forget it!
If you wanted to do it, you could write a cache file, and then make up some
higher numbers. To do it properly, you would have to make up the numbers for
the files and hosts as well as the pattern over time.
You could instead append thousands of lines not by hand but by repeating one
week's statistics a week later or something.
But as I say, I would prefer to go with the statistics I have rather than
making some up.
