I don't believe there is any way to do exactly what you're asking here.  I use placeholders – I have starting templates for most of the algorithms; saved & labeled as such.  Just presets adjusted to all 'neutral' settings, as a starting point.  You could copy & paste a row of these, as filler.  You can also save any preset in BYPASS.

Great suggestions, brock.

I'll only add that you can insert blank spaces in a preset list using H9 Control.  Use the "More->Insert Preset" feature while at the preset location you want to move to a higher number.

However, this won't create a blank space on your H9 when you send over the list.  It will just leave what was already there.
