I feel like your problem would be better solved with a number of predefined smart playlists for each senario instead of a skip filter for each senario. As I said in my previous post I think the SQL Playlist plugin would solve this problem better than Custom Skip does. SQL Playlist also makes it a bit easier to select several genres or several artists even though it doesn't have any add all/remove all buttons yet.
