Well, if you are making these patches PROGRAMMATICALLY, then you can't cut and paste, as there is no way to do that in programming.
You might want to open up some abstractions in a text editor, you can see the code that PD uses to create these objects directly. It is very enlightening.
cut and paste is possible too. Check out pd-msg for the details. Basically, you need to programmatically draw a box around the around the area to select the objects, then send the cut and paste messages.
I would not recommend this, it is buggy, slow, and a resource for errors. if you really want to dynamically create and delete objects the best method is the dyn~ external http://grrrr.org/ext marius.
