Perhaps the easiest way to do your exact example is to just let the
radio buttons for 10k, 20k, 40k, 80k set values of 0, 1, 2, 3 and
change Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py by replacing

    if mlist.max_message_size > 0:

with

    if True:

and replacing

        if bodylen/1024.0 > mlist.max_message_size:

with

        if bodylen/1024.0 > 10.0 * mlist.max_message_size ** 2:

Obviously, there are other ways to code the same logic. If your sizes
don't follow a simple geometric progression, you might need a more
complicated calculation or a table lookup.

But here's another idea. Instead of radio buttons, why not just set a
minimum and maximum for this setting and enforce it in
Mailman/Cgi/admin.py or the CheckValues() method in
Mailman/MailList.py.
