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". In the = schematic, be sure to assign the same refdes to all of the "banks" of = the chip. You can mix these approaches, using slotted symbols for = repeated "banks" and separate symbols for unique "banks" (e.g. power = inputs).

Okay. = If I do that, making sure to use the same refdes and footprint, = will 'gsch2pcb', make sure all of the "banks" are assembled as 1 = device?

Unless gsch2pcb (which I = don't use) does something perverse, it should. It works that way in = other gnetlist-based design flows.
