Hello,

You can even start with '(org-data nil).

I would use `org-element-adopt-elements' instead
`org-element-set-contents', which is too low level. The former will take
care of setting the appropriate :parent property.

You can probably extract headlines with `org-element-extract-element',
duplicate them as many times as you want, and insert them back with
`org-element-adopt-elements'. This is just a rough idea; I don't have
any algorithm to offer.
