You'll have to extend Customize to get that, AFAIK. Or write your own command to
customize this particular option. Customize doesn't really guide you with
prompts and such. Customize could use a little more guidance, especially for
complex structures such as this one.
There are a lot of ways in which Customize could be improved, but no one seems
to want to work on it. Many Emacs developers have, I think, written it off as
being either (1) superfluous (~real Emacs users don't use Customize~, meaning
that they don't use it) or (2) too difficult/bothersome (the Customize code is
hard to follow). No flames please - that's just one person's impression.
