Hi LCD,
thank you for your suggestion.
I also wasn't aware that the macro could call itself :)

By the way, I committed a mistake when typing in my email the solution I had
tried before posting (which would work only for a single occurrence). Indeed,
what I really had done was:

/\\xxx
el
d%
%
x
N
5x

I haven't tried it yet, but I guess that if I add @q at the end of my commands
for macro in register q, it might work as well.

Thank you once more to everyone who has tried to help me.

Natércia
