In some cases, it can be. Usually, I'll use the other method...a single 
entry outside the loop.

Maybe a parameter list structure could eventually be added to the macro 
language...you would just append entries to the list, and ignore the 
comma issue entirely.

#declare ParamList = param_list {< 1, 2, 3>, < 4, 5, 6>}

ParamList.append_value(< 1, 3, 5>);

polygon {ParamList.count
    ParamList
}

Or for the original example:

#declare ParamList = param_list

#declare Blah = 80;
#while(Blah > 0)
    ParamList.append_value(dSpline(Blah));
    #declare Blah = Blah - 1;
#end

polygon {ParamList.count
    ParamList
}
