Description:
Currently the settings are hardcoded - please add a block form to set this manually (one for users and one for IPs). Probably the current settings should be defaults such that if one is happy with those settings, a click on the button is all that's required.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Crappy mockup
I was concerned this would waste lots of screen real estate, but after doing this mockup, I think it can work.
The block form is smaller in this case, since you don't need the fields for:
*username (that input comes from the checkboxes)
*block reason dropdown or text field (one common field provided at the bottom)
*nuke the expiry dropdown too (text box is enough)
*the block buttons (replaced by the one at the botton)
I just crossed out those inputs for illustration.
So out of 22 lines of inputs for 2 block forms, only 11 are kept.
You can also save some space by putting the user & user talk replacement fields on one line.

Additionally, you can hide the block forms until a user or IP is checked off. So, nothing shows unless you start ticking off boxes.

Part of this can be done with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/184116 it has been open without any activity for several weeks now. reviews welcome :)
CheckUser seems to be in a messy state right now... so it'd be better if someone tries to update it and then try to work on the features. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a maintainer actively working on this extension.
