I'm with you on then name length limitation, that's annoying. Otherwise,
here is how to create and display a proper custom value:
> type.Scene.my_prop = BoolProperty(name="A boolean
> property",description="Blah",default=False)
> # ...
> layout.prop(scene,"my_prop",text="A UI property element")
There is also StringProperty, IntProperty, EnumProperty and many more;
check bpy.props. You can probably use CollectionProperty to store a dict
(or at least a list) but I've never tried.
I didn't try reading your code sample because your line breaks have
disappeared.
