Module pattern with overlapping substrings

[pimika]

Hello
Is there a simple way to create a module pattern with overlapping substrings, for example a module with 33 cells in series, with a layout 12x3, one by-pass diode in parallel with the first and second columns, and a second by-pass diode in parallel with the second (again) and third columns. I have tried listing twice the cells in the central column, like this:

33Cells2Diodes = [[[{'crosstie': False, 'idx': 0}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 1}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 2}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 3}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 4}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 5}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 6}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 7}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 8}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 9}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 10}], [{'crosstie': False, 'idx': 21}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 20}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 19}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 18}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 17}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 16}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 15}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 14}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 13}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 12}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 11}]], [[{'crosstie': False, 'idx': 21}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 20}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 19}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 18}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 17}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 16}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 15}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 14}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 13}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 12}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 11}],[{'crosstie': False, 'idx': 22}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 23}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 24}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 25}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 26}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 27}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 28}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 29}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 30}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 31}, {'crosstie': False, 'idx': 32}]]]

But when I create a module with such pattern, numberCells returns 44 instead of 33.

Any idea how to do solve this?

Thank you!!
