Try using <defs> and the <use> tags. Define a <def> of your ellipse
path and then you can call this defined ellipse any number of times by
issuing the <use> tag 'n' amount of times.
Here is sample code for how to do this:
<svg>
<!-- Define the ellipse path and give it an id attribute -->
<defs>
<path id="ellipse" fill="none" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0.3"
d="M90.149,126.15c49.705,0,90-28.207,90-63s-40.295-63-90-63
c-49.703,0-90,28.207-90,63S40.447,126.15,90.149,126.15z"/>
</defs>
<!-- Call the defined ellipse path into action -->
<use x="10" y="10" xlink:href="#ellipse" />
<!-- This calls the ellipse path and applies a transform to create
an inset version of the path -->
<use x="10" y="300" xlink:href="#ellipse" transform="scale(0.5)"/>
</svg>
