Use the XSLTSL Standard Library - the generate-string template
in the string module.  See http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/.

Example,

<xsl:call-template name='str:generate-string'>
  <xsl:with-param name='text'>Hello</xsl:with-param>
  <xsl:with-param name='count' select='20'/>
</xsl:call-template>

See the website doco for how to setup the stylesheet import, etc.

Cheers,
