Recursive tasks in MS Project

This may be a bad idea, but it is the best I have to work with for now.

I have a large access database project, written by someone else, with no documentation.

I must make changes to the database and write the documentation.

I have some block diagrams that describe the overall project,but for the detail I use MS Project. 

The outlining feature is convenient and I use the notes field to write explanations where necessary.

Using MS Project to make an outline of the code,  I can use the task links to drop out of the main thread and indicate subroutines where they happen. At present, I create a subroutine task and then use multiple subtasks to that task each time the subroutine is repeated.

I know I can use a repeating task, but they repeat at fixed intervals. Is there another way to indicate tasks that are recursive, but not uniformly repetititive?

For my purposes time is not really an issue (every task has the same length and one resource).

    You might be better advised to re-post, or edit this, to the Office/Project group
