Not simple, but you could write a Postscript file that did the work.
If I was writing it, and I knew the label was 2in wide (144pt) and
0.5in tall (36pt) I might do something like:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Pages: 1
%%EndProlog
%%Page: 1 1
36 144 324 { % x: first at 36pt, last at 324pt, incr 144pt
36 36 360 { % y: first at 36pt, last at 360pt, incr 36pt
save translate
/showpage {} def
0 setgray 0 setlinecap 1 setlinewidth
0 setlinejoin 10 setmiterlimit [] 0 setdash newpath
userdict begin
dnl THIS BIT IS PROCESSED BY m4
%%BeginDocument label.eps
changequote(,)
include(label.eps)
changequote
%%EndDocument
dnl END m4 DIRECTIVES
end
restore
} for
} for
showpage
%%EOF
This needs to be preprocessed with m4, but should come close to doing
what you want.
