Sure, we could refactor from a fixed list of 8 styles, and change the
dimensions of the tiles for Bullet, and add a scroll bar if there were more
than one additional row.

But we'd have to deal with providing tooltips.  The Image selection  simply
links to path for the SVG/GIF/PNG extracted from the LO share\Gallery

As is, tool tips for the existing are a mess, current check Mark bullets shows
the "✗" Ballot X (U+2717), while Tick mark bullets shows the "✔" Heavy Check
Mark (U+2714).

I'm just not sure that we gain anything, some simple corrections here (even add
your preferred U+2013 EN DASH to the Tick mark default) rather that complete
refactoring just to add another row.
