As far as I know it is not in rrdtool. You can emulate it, using a CDEF, 
looking at time modulo a certain value, compare to zero. For instance if 
your X-axis is showing hours, you could compare {time modulo 3600} to zero. 
Only if it is zero, you copy the rate of the original DEF, else you put 
unknown on the stack. Draw a fat line (LINE3) using that cdef value and you 
will get short line segments, somewhat resembling what you ask for.
