Running several rounds of the same rule in Snakemake

Question

[shjenkins94]

I'm writing a workflow and there are several parts where I have to run several rounds of the same rule Something like this

Input 1 -> Same Rule -> output1/input2 -> Same Rule -> output2/input3 -> Same Rule -> output3/input4

Ideally I would like to just use one Rule for this instead of having multiple very similar rules. Is there a good way to do this?

Add more details about what you're supposing to do with some toy examples.
