I am really impressed now that I learned about the enter key.  I used the multipass wizard to cut the Z depth in steps and then used the nesting wizard to repeat the part over the material size.

You can also use G52 to offset the axis you want.
G52 X5Y5 creates an offset in the x and y of 5 inches(in inch mode).
You must remember to cancel any such offset with a G52 X0Y0Z0 or call out the new desired offset.

This is probably well known, but I was happy to find it a while back and it has come in handy.
