You have to write Lisp code.  For example,

(defun jon-kill-word (n)
  "Kill N words or to end of line, whichever comes first."
  (interactive "p")
  (let ((eol (point-at-eol))
        (nwords (save-excursion (forward-word n) (point))))
    (kill-region (point) (min eol nwords))))

(defun jon-backward-kill-word (n)
  "Kill N words backward or to beginning of line, whichever comes first."
  (interactive "p")
  (let ((bol (point-at-bol))
        (nwords (save-excursion (backward-word n) (point))))
    (kill-region (point) (max (bol nwords)))))

If these commands do what you want, you can bind them to keys you like.
