Seems to be the night for ugly hacks :0)

52 decimal is 34 in hex, so

option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat (option 
dhcp-parameter-request-list, 34);

option 52 is dhcp-option-overload, which is normally sent automatically 
by the server when it uses the space available for the fname or sname as 
extra option space. You shouldn't need to add that yourself, but hte 
procedure above will work for any option.
