This is largely what I was thinking as the 'more complex' version. Create new metadata entries for prefix versions, add prefix, then use.
As culytera said, you'll need custom_columns_settings to put them in a column, but it sounded like you already had that part.
However, custom_columns_settings only allows for one metadata entry per line, so you'll need to either merge the different prefix_X into another new entry first or use multiple custom_columns_settings lines with 'a' flags.
It looks like culytera uses the keep_in_order_X settings and X_LIST to retain author's ordering for those entries. That may or may not work with custom column , depending on your custom column type and how you merge the different entries.
