This resembles a feature request i made, cf. <http://sourceforge.net/ 
tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=1818177&group_id=55736&atid=478073>. (So I encourage  
this.)

If there was such option in Pd-extended then people could do either  
of two to save preferences for Pd-extended:

1) Enable 'use "internal preferences"' and edit those.
2) Disable 'use "internal preferences"' and edit the normal preferences.

It should properly be disabled as standard to suit most users need.
