Currently, the Courtyard expansion is fixed at 0.2mm. Is it possible to specify a value of 0.1mm or 0.15mm? In practical scenarios—such as with mobile phone motherboards—a clearance of 0.1mm may be required.

Courtyard Excess is a user defined option in "Tools > Options > Terminals > Surface Mount'. 

You can define different Courtyard Excess for every Chip Case Code. 01005, 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, etc. can have unique Courtyard Excess. 

You can have multiple Option files for to create various PCB libraries for different applications. And you can define a Footprint Name Suffix for each application. You can create Option files for Flex (solder mask defined), Wave (larger solder joint goals), Rigid (Least, Nominal and Most density levels), with silkscreen for prototype and without silkscreen for production. 

With user defined Options there is no limit to the various libraries you can build. 

The FPX file is Component dimensions. Your Option files create the resulting patterns.
