Disable multiple devices via the .vmx file

I'm working on a STIG for a vSphere environment, and I have a question about disabling devices.

If I want to disable multiple floppy devices or multiple IDE devices, I am making a line for each connection:

floppy0.present = "FALSE"

floppy1.present = "FALSE"

ide0:0.present = "FALSE"

ide0:1.present = "FALSE"

ide1:0.present = "FALSE"

ide1:1.present = "FALSE"

Can this be consolidated into one line for each device?  floppy0-1.present floppy[0,1], or something along those lines or ide0-1.1-0?

I posed a similar question in the security section, but I didn't get a response, and I can't seem to find anything online, everything puts to disabling it once.

Afaik there's no way to consolidate multiple settings in a single line.
