I don't know if this can be done (think not), but that sounds like a really
useful feature to add some day. May I suggest something like
<point x="0" y-repeat="2,4">
as a syntax to support such a feature in the <connections> list. I the above
example, the first connection point would start at y=2 and repeat every 4
units. Similarly for the x, but I'm not sure whether it's sensible to
support repetitions in both directions at the same time (creating a lattice
of points). (I see some potensial conflict here since the current
"coordinate system" stretches and shrinks according to the
scaling/resizing!)
Maybe making an entire edge connectable could also be a solution to this.
(Something similar was discussed a while ago.)

I think the file 'doc/custom-shapes' in the dia sources describes this very
well.
BTW, is there a simple way to make a custom-shape non-resizable
(fixed-size)? (Like the UML shape 'class' for instance.)
