\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multido}
\newsavebox\TBox
\newcommand*\RepeatN{}
\newenvironment{Repeat}[1][1]
  {\renewcommand*\RepeatN{#1}%
   \begin{lrbox}{\TBox}
   \begin{minipage}{\linewidth}}
  {\end{minipage}\end{lrbox}%
   \multido{\iA=0+1}{\RepeatN}{\usebox\TBox\endgraf}}
\begin{document}
foo

\begin{Repeat}[3]
A lot of text over several pages.\par
A lot of text over several pages.
\end{Repeat}

\end{document}
