You can manually clone blocks in 2.0.13, it only takes a minute or two. I've pasted some old notes below (I haven't got time to check it, but it was based on a forum post I found in here anyway).
Procedure to Clone the Block in Wfdownload module
1. edit xoops_version.php copy the following block and reassign the variable and number
$modversion['blocks'][4]['file'] = "wfdownloads_mytop.php";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['name'] = _MI_WFD_BNAME4;
$modversion['blocks'][4]['description'] = "modify shows recently added donwload files";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['show_func'] = "b_wfdownloads_top_myshow";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['edit_func'] = "b_wfdownloads_top_myedit";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['options'] = "date|10|19";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['template'] = 'wfdownloads_block_mynew.htl';
2. Replicate file 'wfdownloads_top.php' to other name (in the
example I have name it 'wfdownloads_mytop.php') this file is
under folder 'block'
3. rename the function under file wfdownloads_top.php
to something that have assign in 1.
4. replicate template to other name that assign in 1.
New Block will appear as system block under Admin menu
This is particularly nice when used with some blocks that allow you to select category-specific content, like the Recent News block (latest news) and Recent Posts block (CBB). Combine it with a duplicatable content module (like Tiny D) and you can create category-specific sub-portals on your site.
Working on that now :)
