Looks like a good candidate for the Array modifier (or for Particle Flow if you want maximum flexibility, at the price of a somewhat high setup cost).

Do you only need to model this (without animation), or do you also need to animate this, as if the wind is moving the individual elements?

The previous example was using MAXScript to distribute the elements as well as animate their rotation based on a noise driven by their world position.

Here is a test using TyFlow with Birth Surface and PhysX Bind:
