What do you think about adding some javascript support to that? Just show one 
div, and have a "+" button that creates yet another one and another one.

And for editing entities, you should have a 'remove' checkbox for the existing  
ones and an extra empty Repeatable block for adding, with the '+' button for 
adding new ones. 

This is a pattern that you see very often. The corresponding DBIC code could 
be just a few lines using Array::Diff on the ids.

What do you think? The javascript could be "optional", the + button could just 
make a post request that adds a new div if js is not wanted/supported in the 
browser
