Do you mean something like this?

\version "2.22.1"

#(define-markup-command (draw-horizontal-arches layout props len) (number?)
    #:properties ((thickness 0.1)
                  (arch-length 5)
                  (arch-height 1.5)
                  (angularity 0.2)
                  path-markup)
    (interpret-markup
     layout
     props
     (make-path-markup
      thickness
      (let loop ((x-pos 0.0)
                 (path-acc '()))
        (if (> x-pos len)
            (reverse! path-acc)
            (loop (+ x-pos arch-length)
                  (cons
                    `(rcurveto ,(* 1/2 angularity arch-length)
                               ,(- arch-height)
                               ,(- arch-length (* 1/2 angularity
arch-length))
                               ,(- arch-height)

\markup \draw-horizontal-arches #20

\markup \override #'((thickness . 0.2)
                      (arch-length . 10)
                      (arch-height . 3)
                      (angularity . 0.8))
