Use a repeat count. The following is generated by this: 20a thisword<ESC> thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword thisword I use this frequently to generate sequences of characters when laying out forms.
