I want to create repeated chords (in a piano part).
I have tried
  <c e g>*4
but this gives "unexpected *".

Is the * notation only applicable to full bar rests (eg R1*4).

No, but it is only applicable to durations, i.e. you can say
<c e g>1*4 just as well as c4*4, however it's not what you
want. For example, c4*4 will print a quarter note but otherwise
the note will be treated like a whole note.

Rather, you may want to look at Section "6.7.7 Measure repeats"
in the manual.
