You can either enable or disable the patches in the individual source .yaml files in the src directory or you can use the overrides section in the in the kobopatch.yaml file to control them from one location. See the spoiler below for a sample of the overrides.

Spoiler:

patches:
  src/nickel.yaml: usr/local/Kobo/nickel
  src/libadobe.so.yaml: usr/local/Kobo/libadobe.so
  src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml: usr/local/Kobo/libnickel.so.1.0.0
  src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml: usr/local/Kobo/librmsdk.so.1.0.0

## You can put lines in the following section to override the enabled state of patches.
## The indentation matters! Each override should be indented by 4 spaces. Add to the 
## section below. This section can be copy and pasted into newer patch versions to
## keep your selections.
##
## Example of how it should look:
## overrides:
##   src/nickel.yaml:
##     Custom synopsis/details line spacing: yes
##     Whatever the yaml is called: no
##   src/libadobe.so.yaml:
##     You get the idea: yes

Wow this is very helpful indeed.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

as i am only interested in getting the advanced option for custom (sideloaded) fonts because i need thicker fonts for my ageing eyes, will that particular patch work on my fw 4.28.18220 (as i do not want to downgrade my fw for fear of messing up). If this patch will work in my fw, does this mean i can use v71 of the patch that was intended for fws: 4.28.17623, 4.28.17820, 4.28.17826, and 4.28.17925

I checked pgaskin's github and this is the latest patch.
