Are they they exactly same fixtures with exactly the same dmx channels and functions. If yes then being able to add 10 fixtures, or how ever many fixtures, at a given address is just not needed as you are effectively controlling only one fixture and the others are clones of that one. Which is what you are doing in the visualiser cloning and existing fixtures.
If no then the anser is a big fat NO and would not be recommended by anyone in the lighting control business which is why it is not allowed in the software.
