Not sure what all the hullabaloo is about.
You can iterate with \partcombine:
\version "2.19.15"
trumpetOne = \relative c'' { c8 16 16 f2. }
trumpetTwo = \relative c'' { g8 16 16 a2. }
trumpetThree = \relative c' { e8 16 16 c2. }
trumpetsOneAndTwo = \partcombine \trumpetOne \trumpetTwo
trumpetThreeForPartcombine = \relative { \voiceTwo \trumpetThree }
trumpets = \partcombine \trumpetsOneAndTwo \trumpetThreeForPartcombine
<<
\trumpets
