The + sign in the upper right should allow you to place as many as needed

But unfortunately you have to adjust the height of each rail by selecting it in the preview.

It is not possible to select them all and distribute to equal spacing.

Do a Complex Profile. Draw your cable profile then just use the Multiply function to set your spacing.

Of course but this is like going back to sticks because the calculator does not work.

Yes, we can distribute the spacing of posts and balustrades horizontally.

It would be great to be able to distribute railing spaces vertically as well.

Yeah, the lack of a vertical array spacing or similar is a pretty big oversight...
