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.
