I agree that would be the quickest method. If you want to go into thinga a little deeper then you can create a module for each of the various patterns and use that.
The only limitation is that you cannot add tracks to a module, just pads. If you are duplicating a lot of the same, get used to using the block move and copy operations. That can save a lot of time.
