You could write a suite of objects instead of one monolithic one with 13 inlets and 42 arguments. Then you get the advantages of code reuse without having to mess with subpatches.
Yeah, but what happens in this case is that this suite of abstractions would have one or two objects each (plus [inlet]s and [outlet]s). I'm talking about the case when most of the patching may count as configuration.
Besides, etymologically, "configuration" is "the picture that things make when together", which is a pretty good description of what a pd patch is...
