Sorry, yes. I should have said this is RACF, and z/OS 1.4. I've seen the built-in RACF password rules but they aren't flexible enough for this, as they are concerned with actual character positions within the password rather than counts of character occurrences etc.
I would be very grateful for examples of such exit code, as at the moment I haven't even got an algorithm for it, much less any sample code.

If so, I have a password exit that allows enforcement of various password quality rules, like repeating characters, new pw to similar to old one, etc. It is very modular, so you could take out checks your company doesn't need.
