One option would be to set your Automation up to add one record and then update a value in the original record by incrementing it by 1. You could then have your trigger set to look at this field or whatever other field you need to trigger it on. Of course, you would only want it to trigger if the value of this field is less than the value of the field indicating how many records need to be created.
You may also be able to do it with Pipelines. Pipelines doesn't have the ability to iterate through an action a set number of times, though, so you will also need a formula that can calculate how many records have been created vs how many need to be created. You can then use this in a Lookup Record step to see if the process needs to run again, though each iteration would require a Lookup Record step and a conditional Add Record step and Pipelines is currently limited to 26 step (I think) in any one Pipeline.
