Is is possible to do smoething like this:

{c'8 d' e' d'}*4 -> c'8 d' e' d' | c'8 d' e' d' | c'8 d' e' d' | c'8 d' e'
d' ?

Just to save space I was hoping that repetitive musical patterns could be
repeted with multiplication/asterix sign?

You can write:

\repeat unfold 4 { c'8 d' e' d' | }

The asterisk is used to scale durations:
