I don't know if it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it either.

This job is really easy in Rosegarden.  Any segment of any type can be set to 
repeat until it bumps into something else.

I want to state for the record that I'm not trying to suggest Rosegarden as an 
all-around alternative to Ardour.  It really depends on what you need to do.  
This particular job is easier, if it's even possible to do in Ardour at all, 
but they have a lot of high end functionality we don't even imagine trying to 
duplicate.
