Oh! I like that idea! Would you use the gschem = "slots" functionality to do that?

If your "banks" represent identical = submodules of the chip, you can make a single symbol and use the slot = functionality. Otherwise, just make separate symbols (making sure that = pinnumbers don't conflict) for the different "banks".
