If you own a plunge router, my Step-and-Repeat Hole Jig provides a quick and easy way to drill a row of holes. It's not limited to any fixed length, and takes hardly any room to store. Different sized holes are achieved by using a different size router bit (and indexing pin to match), with no loss of accuracy in their spacing.
One limitation of this version of my jig is that the holes will always be the same, fixed distance from the edge of the panel. If that's a problem, the base plate can be made larger and the fence provided with slots for adjustment -- something I intend to do if I ever build another one of these. Nine times out of 10 the standard setback works fine, but once in a while a different dimension is desired.
