You’d think at a certain point O’Brien would just start saving “copies” of the red-shirts and bring them back with the rest of the away team. Which would be doubly disconcerting if you think about it because their last memory would be beaming away with the away team since they wouldn’t have memories of dying.
I don’t think he can. He’s not Scotty. Voyager tried to replicate the trick, and could only hold someone in there for a few hours.
Assuming it’s possible to copy patterns at all (maybe DS9 might know?). Barclay didn’t clone the mid-transport people. The person he grabbed would be the original. The pattern was just maintained for an unusually long time, like a natural version of what Scotty did in Relics.

Believe it or not, right to
jailthe pattern buffer.We have the galaxy’s best federation, because of pattern buffer
It would be better than being dead.
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
In my pattern buffer
Is it always? What if I came back half transporter worm, or all transporter worm? Would you still love me Stephen?
