Can I model a diaphragm as multiple master-slave node, lines of code or should I specify the whole polygonal boundary at once?
use the equaldof for nodes in one floor
the dispalcement of nodes in the floor will be the same
This command is used to construct a multi-point constraint between nodes.
equalDOF $rNodeTag $cNodeTag $dof1 $dof2 ...

If your model is 3D, You can also use from "rigidDiaphragm" command.
rigidDiaphragm $perpDirn $masterNodeTag $slaveNodeTag1 $slaveNodeTag2 ... http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/RigidDiaphragm_command
Dear George Bekas
This command is used to construct a a rigid plane with the master node.
rigidDiaphragm $perpDirn $masterNodeTag $slaveNodeTag1
$slaveNodeTag2 ...
$perpDirn direction perpendicular to the rigid plane (i.e. direction 3 corresponds to the 1-2 plane)
$masterNodeTag integer tag identifying the master node
$slaveNodeTag1 $slaveNodeTag2 ... integar tags identifying the slave nodes.
And I hope this link be helpful.

Dear all
I asked if I should define all the nodes at once or one by one. Is the latter scenario also acceptable.
Yes, that is acceptable.
