Insert many copies of a parametric component into a design

I want to make a segmented helix, something like the screenshot below, but in my case each segment of the helix has complex internal geometry for routing wires. I can easily describe a single segment as a master component with some parameter denoting the size of that segment's cross section. I would like to take that master component and vary the size parameter over a large number of values (say, 100). I need to insert all of these size variants into a single design for the whole assembly. I would also like to do this in a way that preserves references to the master component, so that I can easily update it if I need to make a change to the internal geometry of all sections. What is the best way to do this in Fusion?

"The Best" way to do that is called Configurations.

However, that functionality is only available to paying subscribers.

 

Some workarounds might be possible.

If I use configurations, I would like to be able to automatically create ~100 configurations, since I want to vary a parameter as a function of the segment index. Is there a way to do this or a way to accomplish this modeling task using a different workflow?
