Are individual yml files needed for each component param option?
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.
