As has been pointed out before, this looks more like a job for a
'keyboard' mapping, such as Tavultesoft's KeyMan. I've just done a
similar thing with 'KeyMan for Linux' (KMFL), but using backslash (\)
for stepping through cycles of two to four sequences. Incidentally, I'd
recommend using mnemonic keyboards if you do use KMFL - the behaviour of
'positional' keyboards can be bizarre to unacceptable if you have
multiple Latin alphabet keyboards set up at the 'keysym' level. (Sorry
if that's confusing - I don't know the terms to distinguish keyboards
set up in terms of keysyms from those inplemented via a generic 'input
method'.)
7 keysyms to a key is quite possible - the basic X11 R6 Xlib definition
requires at least 8 to be allowed. However, I don't think
what you want can be done using xmodmap.
Richard.
