The options file is Python code, so you can just write a loop in Python:

projects = [
    'A',
    'B',
    'C',
    # ...
    ]

for project in projects:
    run_options.add_project(
        r'test-data/main-cvsrepos/' + project,
        trunk_path=(project + '/trunk'),
        branches_path=(project + '/branches'),
        tags_path=(project + '/tags'),
        # ...
        )

If you want to get really fancy, you could read the project names out of
a data file.  Or even by listing the directories inside your main CVS
repository:

import os
cvs_repo_main_dir = r'test-data/main-cvsrepos'
projects = os.listdir(cvs_repo_main_dir)
projects.remove('CVSROOT') # Probably don't want to convert CVSROOT!

for project in projects:
    # ...
