No, unfortunately, there's no way in the UI to do exactly what you're
after.  As a work-around, you could setup the SX to "remind" a
sufficient number of days in advance, then transition the SX instance
from "remind" to "create" at that earlier point.  It would be better to
have a more direct way of acheiving what you describe; could you please
file an RFE at <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>?


With respect to the "all or nothing"-ness of the since-last-run
druid ... you can postpone SX instances in that dialog, and they'll hang
around until you decide to deal with them at some later point.
