You can get the multiple inserts with the customisation type `repeat'. Other
than that, it's hard to give you any specific advice because you're not saying
what you're having trouble with. Have you looked at the documentation (info
"(elisp) Customization")? There are also tons of defcustoms in the Emacs source,
so you could take a user option in a Customize buffer that looks like what you
want and then check out how it's defined.
