Scattering and recoupling of a vortex pair by a third vortex becomes remarkable when the vortex density is large. Clustering of vortices with various initial conditions is quantitated by the $L$ function used in point process theory in spatial ecology. It is shown that clustering persists if it is initially clustered like an infinite row or a checkered pattern.4 pages, 12 figures, to appear in JPSJFluid DynamicsClustering Analysis of Periodic Point Vortices with the $L$ Functiontext
