To create a Series info record, I drag and drop an empty text file into Calibre, change the name and metadata, then double-click it to open it in my favorite text editor.

The only drawback is that the Size field doesn't automatically update in the database when you edit a file directly like that. If you don't care about the Size field anyway, it probably doesn't matter.
I'm sure you know this, but another approach would be to add your own custom columns to Calibre to store the additional information you require.
