As an example, I'll use a generic content Block component. This component, among other params, would have a columnSpan param. As far as I can tell, the only way to predefine options for that param is to create individual content entries like so:

...and use that directory as the source of the params like so:
...
source: 'dataSource=sitecore/content/BlockColumnSpanOptions'
...
So, multiply that by X number of components and X number of params, this content directory is quickly going to become nightmarish.
Is there a better/other way to provide param options in a more flattened/simplified manner?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

The manifest API is a JavaScript API; we just provide a default input via YAML. You can modify the handling in /sitecore/definitions/*.sitecore.js to source content from whatever you like, including multiple items in one JS file.
Example here, note that the manifest contains TypeScript typings to make constructing objects easier.
Very helpful. Thank you, @KamFigy
