The extension 'cal' has included a TypoScript field in the flexform to 
allow configuration which is not possible otherwise within the flexform.

Another solution is to put the plugins on your page with TypoScript.

10 < plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1
	# the pervious line makes a copy of the plugin
	# allowing configuration per copy
10 {
	templateFile = whatever.tmpl
	singlePid = 12
}

If you need to put plugins in the Page module in the backend you can use 
the extension typoscript_ce [1] to enter the TS configuration.
