You can do that for multiple rows just fine, you don't even need plpgsql for that:
development=> \d test Table "public.test" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+---------+----------- i | integer |
development=> INSERT INTO test (i) select x from generate_series(4, 10) t(x) ret urning i; i ---- 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (7 rows)
INSERT 0 7
