I don't know if you have access to a mac with pd on it, but I put up a binary of the latest GEM cvs for OSX (mainly to test the FTGL stuff), and it has some "hidden" objects/geos like [cubeArray], [kasser], and [tunnel], which I pulled out of some demo examples...I haven't committed them to cvs because I feel they would be better as "abstractions"...
If I understand correctly it should not be too hard to implement this "looping" feature based on the new gem scheduler.
Currently a gemlist gets only drawn once. It is possible to write a simple object ("gemloop" or the like) that triggers "n" of these redraws (just like the part_render does) and at the same time has a second outlet that tells you the number of the redraw. This way you could built more complex geos with just one gemlist ..
...pardon me if I missed it before, but where should I look to figure out the gem scheduler stuff? I also wonder if this would allow for processing of still images? I'll definitely take a look at part_render...
