Yes, you can use [Partition List] to chop a single list into multiple branches. You get to specify how long each branch needs to be.

If you already have another tree you want to mimic, it's even easier. You can use [Unflatten Tree] to copy the layout of one tree and impose it on the items in a list.

Finally, if you have two trees with the same number of branches (but potentially different branch lengths), you can use Match Tree to take the topology from one tree and the data from another to compose a branch new tree.
