Hm sorry I wasn't very clear child table already have type pcpatch(3) , pcpatch(4), etc. This is the normal behaviour and can't be changed.
pcpatch(n) are specialization of pcpatch type. pcpatch(3) is widely different from pcpatch(4) For those who know PostGIS pcpatch is like "geometry" and pcpatch(3) like "geometry(point)" and pcpatch(5) like "geometry(polygon)", for instance.
