I prefer non-breaking changes and this sounds like it's going to break
at least my setup.

How hard is it to add a new field?

How hard is it to change the existing fields only if the user wants
relative sequence numbers & leave them alone if they do not want
relative sequence numbers: ie.
tcp.relative_sequence_numbers: FALSE

How much of the following breaks if you change the existing fields:
column.width:
  ...
        "%Cus:tcp.seq", 80,
        "%Cus:tcp.nxtseq", 80,
        "%Cus:tcp.ack", 80,


Thanks,
Lee
