I have a list like this:

The argument of my function should be a repeated version e.g.
[1,2,3],[1,2,3],[1,2,3],[1,2,3] (could be a different number of times repeated 
also)

That's not very clear. You say "The" argument (singular; meaning 1) but then show what seems to be four arguments. Can you show us the function you mention.

A number of things come to mind:

>>> 4*[[1,2,3]]
[[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]

so fn(n*[[1,2,3]]) might do for a single parameter function
  def fn(L):
      ...

On the other hand expanding a sequence into individual parameters:
    fn(*(4*[[1,2,3]]))  # note extra * preceding the arg
willl be a valid call for
  def fn(a,b,c,d):
    ...

I'm sure other interpretations of your question are possible.
