The correct language code would be mul-XXX-{$custom_name}, per ISO
639-3:2007(en)
 and ISO 3166-3:2013(en). See
https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/revisions/38453/1#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20misconception%20that%20an%20unassigned%20code%20in%20a%20standard%20can%20be%20just%20used%20for%20anything%20you%20want.%20It%20may%20be%20officially%20assigned%20tomorrow!%20This%20is%20unlikely%20in%20the%20case%20of%20ISO%20639%2D1%2C%20but%20this%20is%20the%20way%20standards%20work.

Otherwise, the reason for such customisation not being the focus is because if
someone wants to adhere to ISO 8601-2:2019/Amd 1:2025, as so many here do, they
shouldn't need to locate a suitable string to add to their preferences: it
should be a preset. However, in retrospect, your proposal might be a useful
basis – better to have it be entirely customisable, then add presets later.
