I don't know if it will help or not since you've already completed the bus layout, there's some time-saving suggestions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Zy_BWg3Tw - hopefully you found some ways to speed up things anyway.

Some of those things can help to speed up using buses a little bit (because some of it is excruciatingly long-winded workflow compared to say EAGLE buses). Some of it puts me off using buses with KiCad, but for your use-case, it's pretty essential since there are so many signals related to LCD!
