No real plug-in architecture, so no 3rd-party additions.
Xara applications are more a by-the-seat-of-the-pants applications. So nothing comparable to your divisor example when importing tiles (or anything).
You can fill an object with a bitmap fill, have it repeat, scale it (without math precision). So for example, you can draw a rectangle. Import your tile (if it isn't already). Every bitmap in a drawing is available in a gallery. In this case, take the fill tool with the rectangle selected. On the context toolbar, at the left of it, there is a dropdown that by default is "Flat Fill." Set it to "Bitmap." Next dropdown is whether it is a single tile, or a repeating tile. Set it to one of the repeats. Over a couple positions is a dropdown for what bitmap to include in the fill. Set it to your bitmap you wish to tile.
Now there are two "handles." Play with them to see the effect. If you wish to keep proportions and rotation as is, once you begin to move one of the handles, press the ctrl key.
