Good point.  You can also replace those four remaining lines with

#local i=1; #while (i<=2) 
  [i/3 hexBlock translate vrotate(x,(120*i-60)*y)]
  [i/3 hexBlock translate vrotate(x,(120*i+60)*y)]
#local i=i+1; #end

The only advantage to this is that it might make the .5's and sqrt(3)'s a 
little less cryptic and/or intimidating.
