Since the TS-7260 has only 2-3 hardware timers implemented as part 
of EP9302. I am wondering whether there a sample software code that 
maps the multiple timers, as needed by my application, into the 
limited number of hardware timers.

That is usually handled by the linux kernel and glibc functions.  Do 
you need more than the Posix Timers API described at:
http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/WWW/books/posix4/DOCU_007.HTM ?  Does 
your current code 'start multiple timers' with dedicated HW for 
each?

You don't specify any timing requirements, but you can get very good 
resolution by using a 2.6 kernel and enabling High Resolution 
Timers.  They work quite well with the EP9302 chip.  Without that, 
you will only see about 10mS timer resolution, but maybe that is 
enough for you.
