IMO, specified as implies must be and it causes me to do a
double-take. Supplied as is a strange idiom and could be
challenging to translate out of English. I agree with your suggestion.

As an example, given this piece of doc:
render(renderer_name, value, request=None, package=None)
As explanation would start with:
Using the renderer specified as ``renderer_name``
I think this can be misleading at first to readers, as it was
to me, that renderer_name is some special type of object, but
is only a string. It is also overlong, and perhaps overly formal.
There are other variations of this, e.g. supplied as. I think
it would be better to simply change such sentences to say:
Using the renderer ``renderer_name``...
This is how CPython documentation does it and should therefore
not be strange to Python users.
If this suggestion is acceptable, I will happily provide the patches.
