pasting a block multiple times to the end of lines after a visual select (Ctrl+v)

I have a file that looks like below. Frequently I encounter this
scenario where all the shorter lines need to be padded with the zero
blocks on the right hand side. I can visual select with a Ctrl+v on
the segment

; 0; 0; 0

But I have to go to the end of each line and press a p. I cannot do a
8p as I would have done if I was pasting whole lines (Shift+v). Is
there a better solution to this procedure?

In some other editors I've found a mode where I can select a block of
text and then anything I type get's added to each line in that block.
Does VIM have a similar mode?
