Yes, this is possible, and it is already there.
The help for -tabcount- indicates
that the values must be a numlist and
the help for numlist indicates that
values need not be consecutive.
So an argument of -values(1 2 4)-
is fine, as an experiment would have shown.
What will not be fine is specifying
more than 5 values, as -tabcount- inherits
this limit from -tabdisp-.
