Yes, I was assuming that you have drawn the circuit completely in eeschema, assigned the footprints and generated the netlist.
You then run PCBnew load the netlist and you will have all the parts connected by a ratsnest. You the start laying out the PCB, and you can make the duplicates as I described. As you duplicate each section, you drop the correct components in position onto the tracks and things should automatically connect up.
