Configurable "Load Filament"

Is there way to configure how "Load Filament" works? (I couldn't find it.) If not, could there be?

My process for loading filament is something like this:
- Preheat for desired filament type
- Wait for preheat to finish
- Load filament
- No, it's not the right color
- Loads again...
- Yes, it's usually the right color
- Repeat if still no. (not often required unless there is a minor jam in the nozzle)

What I would love to have a setting for is how much extrusion the first "Load Filament" does so I can just make it roughly twice as long the first time. It is literally never the right color on the first shot, and it typically is on the second (after clicking "No" on the "Correct Color?" question).

Settings
-> Load Filament
-> -> First Extrusion Amount
-> -> -> (spinner similar to Live Z or axis move with a valid range)
-> -> Repeat Extrusion Amount
-> -> -> (spinner similar to Live Z or axis move with a valid range)

Thanks for listening. Not sure if this belongs in some other section for "feature requests" or something, but I figured this was definitely a question about the firmware so I decided to start here.
