Is the syntax you're using a misreading of the wiki advice on Feature-Coupled Steps.

Why not have

"GIven a policy with a PCF practice state and seconday risk"

Because the work we are currently doing is going to involve several hundred different variations of over a hundred different attributes of a policy. I need to make sure that I'm able to reuse as many statements describing that policy as I possibly can.

Have you thought about using Scenario Outlines to express these several hundred variations in a tabular format?

That would enable you something like:

Given a policy with <policy features>
When blah
Then <outcome>

Examples:
| policy features                        | outcome |
| a PCF practice state and seconday risk | foo     |

Just a thought.
