So I think its sort of fundamental the the message ports cant be scaled
like that because they are named and not linearly indexed. You could
find a way do to it, but its a more invasive GRC change I guess. Perhaps
Martin's GSoC student might consider doing this for the GRC
improvements, if not already?

Thanks for confirming my suspicion. My ultimate goal was to bury the
connections inside a hierarchical block anyway so I did that and just
programmatically named and connected the ports which works fine. I just
can't expose the constituent blocks in GRC.
