I've always had them magically appear when I mount -o loop something.  You
can also create the pseudo-block device using losetup -f, if you'd prefer.

What you may be coming up against is the hard-coded limit to the number of
available loop devices in the device module.  Try loading the loop module
with max_loop=32 (the default is 8) and see if you get more loop devices.
