Look at creating a custom tile layer. Creating tiles on the server means you'd be dealing with pixel and not geographical coordinates. You could create whatever pattern of markers on each tile that you want separated by however many pixels you want.
Look at the source code for this map: http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/maps/tilenames/ http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/maps/tilenames/tilenames.js http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/maps/tilenames/return_tile.txt Just a little javascript and some PHP. Faster and more efficient than a map full of overlays :-) Martin.
