if I understood correctly, just forget about the rotation and translation.

I think I'd rather say "be not burdened by them" rather than forgetting about 
them :-)

First I have to make copies myself, just what I did before. (edit the pdb file, copy the atoms and change the chain ID).
second, translate and rotate these monomers into the right position in the map 
one by one manually.

"manually" - I wonder what you mean by that, for the record I would move to the centre of where I expect the new chain to be (it'll look like the centre of the chain we have fitted) then copy chain here and then jiggle fit chain. Takes seconds. Do that again for the other chains. Then merge molecule and have fun getting the chain ids to be in the right place :-)

then using the NCS Ghost function. edit one chain (master chain), apply the 
changes to the rest  chains.

yeeaasss.... I would say the order is:

i)  edit one chain (master chain)
ii) then using the NCS Ghost function, apply the changes to the other chains

I have another question, probably it is not about Coot, that is how to display 
the map as it is?
for example, the density map size is 100x100x100, now I extract the center section of 100x100x20,

20 is not much... perhaps 5 copies of one strand, how intriguing...

display it in Coot, while Coot will generate the copies of the extracted density map and show them together.

I think I see what you mean, there will be discontinuities as you go over the 20A border. There's no way around that currently (it's something that I've wanted to fix for a long time - it has not yet got to the top of the list). So... don't cut out the 20A slither, build into the 100x100x100 map.

Hope that helps,

Paul.
