Macros are easy to use, they are basically a set of operations bundled together.
To add the use, you can call this set with different in-data.

But before using a macro, It would be best to learn how to code.

A good thing for this would be a #while() loop, stepping with the amount of
bricks in the wall, multiplying with the offset.

This will create one line. to create more, just add another loop, but in height.

(untested)this should be something like what you want.

#declare nX = 10;
#declare nY = 5;
#declare brick = box { <0,0,0>,<1,0.5,1> pigment{ mortarRed }
#declare offset = 0.5;

#declare Y = nY;
#while(Y>0)
  #declare X = nX;
  #while(X>0)
    object { brick translate <X*offset,0,Y*offset> }
    #declare X = X -1;
  #end
  #declare Y = Y - 1;
#end
