Ah, you didn't say at what stage the problem was ;)

If you're calling $form->model->default_values()
it should automatically expand the repeatable block.

If you're not, you'll need to do something like:

if ( ! $form->submitted ) {
    $form->get_all_element({ type => 'Repeatable' })->repeat(3);
    $form->get_all_element('count')->default(3);
    $form->process;
}

Your config should also define a hidden field - which in this example
is called 'count'
and set this on the Repeatable block
    counter_name: count
