Sorry, can't be done. The customize interface stores the
(custom-set-variables ... ) block in the init file. Having more than
one such code block might lead to unpredictable Emacs behaviour. Your
only two choices are:
1. Use customize. Then your capture templates are stored with your other
emacs customisations in your init file (e.g. ~/.emacs,
~/.emacs.d/init.el or whatever).
2. Use setq to define your templates outside of customize. If you choose
this, you lose the ability to define templates using customize and
save it. You can still however save a template temporarily `C-c C-c'.
I hope this answers your query.
