You can edit the settings in various prefs but it doesn't take effect
until restart.

This is because there are parts of Geany (and maybe some plugins I
think) that assume the menu is static.  And I don't think it is worth
trying to fix those given that changing the *number* of commands is
unlikely to be common.

I thought the project plugins did something like that, but I don't use
them so I'm not sure.
