I thought about this feature (extending flexform). My idea was that you can not only add a new sheet but override flexform definition in existing sheets. This is not possible now but can be developed. As usual it needs time and sponsoring :D Therefore it is in the idea box for now. I know how to do it, I simply do not have time/money for it.
