I didn't understand anything you said in your first post, but if

i.e. you want to have tons of interface pairs to bridge between, you 
might want to use 802.1q encapsulation on the real interfaces and use
the VLAN interfaces to bridge between. I haven't tried that yet (the 
bridging part, VLANs worked just fine last time I used it), but it
may be worth a shot.
