This is an interesting question. Given that no-one has answered yet, I suspect that it is not straightforward to do in REAPER.

My suggestions is to use overlapping items instead of looped items.
* The overlapping items can be grouped for easy editing of all items simultaneously.
* Or the items can be independent -- but with exactly similar names -- and any changes can then be "Propagated" to similarly named items.

For example, using pooled items:



Notes:
* There are several Actions and scripts to convert back and forth between looped and pooled items.
* AFAIK, the (unstretched) length of pooled items cannot be changed, but changes in length can be Propagated to other items

For example, to convert from existing looped items to independent overlapping items:
1) Select your looped items.
2) Script: X-Raym_Convert selected looped items into independent items.
3) In Item settings, UNcheck "Loop item source".
4) Slightly lengthen one item as well as the last note.
5) Propagate to other similarly named items, and voilą, you have overlapping MIDI items with legato notes.
