I would hesitate to make this happen automatically, since it could create unnecessary
complex reel segmenting even when this is not intended. I guess there needs so be some
parameter that sets the minimum reuse length, and you need to think how you deal with reel
setting. Maybe enabling this reuse feature could be implemented as another reel option?

It seems like a nice idea. I imagine it may even not need a UI at all...
could we not just look for areas of the timeline that could be repeated
and repeat them via a reel manipulation?

Does anyone know if it's possible to build a DCP with DCP-o-matic that
repeats a source file a number of times, but only encodes it once? So
essentially the CPL would point to the same asset multiple times.
I'm adding the source video multiple times in the content tab, and
then selecting "split by video content" for reels. This still
re-encodes each instance of the source video.
I was thinking about that option lately as well, basically to allow long
intermission slides, blacks, etc. with low storage needs, etc.
Currently, as others pointed out, it is not possible. When thinking
about it, I also tried to figure out how one could integrate that option
in the existing GUI. One could have a checkbox 'reuse content', and
specify a minimum length for it, so that e.g. 1min segments would be
reused.
However, let's see what Carl has to say about it. What I see from recent
bugs and bug resolving is that creating reels and keeping up with all
the increasing ambitions from subtitles, etc., this could become
cumbersome to get working flawlessly. Especially since it is only used
for very rare special applications.
