Have you considered using a regexp style virtual_aliases map?
Something like: regexp:/etc/postfix/virtual_alaises_regexp
that contains something along the lines of:
/^abuse@example\.[:alpha:]{2,4}$/ postmas...@example.com
/^postmaster@example\.[:alpha:]{2,4}$/ postmas...@example.com
These regexp are not tested so I doubt that they would work exactly as
shown but, you get the idea. Note that in this case you absolutely
MUST have postmas...@example.com mapped to a local delivery mailbox or
aliased to something that will not match the left hand side of the
regexp map. Otherwise I suspect that you will get a loop.
