There may be other solutions, but Chimera is a free program which creates n-mers from monomers.
The rub is that you have to have pdb symmetry header information - it's designed to do this for
n-mers which are not explicitly included in a pdb file. See http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html I'm not sure if this will help you or not.
