(assuming that Z0.5 is safe for rapids along xy)
G00 Z.050 (go to safe Z level)

G00 A72 (next A position)
M98 P1 (call subroutine 1)

G00 A144 (next A position)
M98 P1 (call subroutine 1)

G00 A216 (next A position)
M98 P1 (call subroutine 1)

G00 A288 (next A position)
M98 P1 (call subroutine 1)

G00 A360 (next A position)
M98 P1 (call subroutine 1)

(exit move)
G00 Z.050 (go to safe Z level)

M30 (end program)

O1 (subroutine 1 start)
G00 X0 Y0 (assuming we're in safe Z, position xy for the start of the cut)
G01 Z-.050F5 (engage)
G01 X 1.25F25 (cut)
G00 Z.050 (go to safe Z level)
M99 (return from subroutine)
