one simple solution I was thinking is to have multirotors as master-slave relationship. Master will be flying by waypoints and he will use a 2nd telemetry for "publishing" his actual position. The slave (another multirotor) will use the Follow-Me feature from MP and will follow the master at the distance defined. Adding a second telemetry for the slave will become the 2nd master for the 3th slave multirotor. And the chain could be extended.
Theroretically, you fly only first multicopter and all the others will follow. You would need a linear path or circle, because there is not any avoidance on this setup.
I am trying to do this setup with my quad follow my glider. Sure would work for 2 positions. Not yet tried.
I believe you will need a MP for each multirotor and to tune the telemetry on each in order to avoid radio interference.

Somebody may prove me wrong, and I am sure clever people are working on this, we are just not there yet in an accessible package.
Simplest way would be to get 10 pilots and 10 DJI Phantoms.
Otherwise you will be spending a chunk of money to get that right. It is possible though.
