My main thought is to just copy-paste and maybe fill the brackets with some kind of place-keeper and then try to figure out a way to sequentially replace them with increasing integers. But somehow it seems like there out to be a more elegant Vim solution.

I'd write the first line:
p3[0] = ...

Yank it (Y) and put it (say I wanted twenty copies: 19p
Then I'd use ctrl-v and highlight all the 0s.
Then I'd use :I

The latter command is supported by visincr
(http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VISINCR). It can do
incrementing/decrementing things with binary, octal, hexadecimal, roman
numerals, daynames, monthnames, and dates (ymd, dmy, mdy).
