It should be no problem to instantiate the same TThread sibling multiple 
times (e.g. using myThread[i] := TmyThread.Create() ). In most projects 
the instance needs to know which one it is, so it might be sensible to 
have a property TmyThread.Instance and assign the instance number before 
the thread runs (or e.g. use Tag):

myThread[i] := TmyThread.Create(True);
myThread[i].Tag := i;
myThread.Suspended := False;

(or similar)
