It would probably be fairly easy to add as a new Python mini-GUI.

You can already achieve much the same thing by converting the part
files to subs and calling them from another file using Onnn REPEAT.

If the files are of the form

example.ngc

O#<example> CALL
O #<example> SUB
G1 X1
O #<example> ENDSUB

Then you can run it either as a normal G-code file, or as a subroutine.
