echo "|||||||" | sed "s/|||/|0|0|0/g"
in a general case if you have n pipes in input,
you can use p pipes in the context address parts
and p "|0" pairs in the substitution string part...
p is such that n % p = 1
now excuse me for this trivia!!

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

shtool(1), sed(1).
