Hours later, I found out that this mod method already exist. Should have googled better that reinventing it. Here's some write-up for all site guests. The structure of each separate setting goes as follows.
[Setting type flag] 1 byte length
[Name String ID] 2 bytes
[NVRAM Token] 2 bytes
[Access control type and level] 1 byte <-- Operate this to set "Ext. Func." to "No"
[Number of total bytes for Help String ID]??? 1 byte
[Help String ID] usually 2 bytes
[Number of bytes for question ID]??? 1 byte
[Question ID] usually 2 bytes
[Special conditions]
[Total number of options] 1 byte
[Options]
4 upper bits of Access control byte represent "Ext. Func." state, where:
1x - basic question, 8x - not question dependent, 9x - multiquestion(???), Cx - depends on platform capabilities. So, all you need is to put number 8 and then get rid of Question ID.
