Effective gadgets for side visibility?

Two very slight things rr4m:

1. Could it be possiable to put a design into a libary more than once? I'm doing a series of designs that should be fitted together (based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_ringing), and would like to be able to set them up so I get the following sort of repeat:
   
   

1.2.1.3.1.4.1.5.

I could do this by creating 5 versions of pattern 1 (1a, 1b, 1c, etc) but would rather just be able to use pattern 1 more times.

1. This is a slight design request really, my wheels are 700c with 32 spokes, and my lights currently sit about a third of the way to the rim, would it be possiable to extend the 'tail' of the light unit so that they can sit closer to the rim? Has anyone else managed to solve this issue? if so, how?
   
   

Loving them for my ride home now though.
