Hi! Welcome to OA!
Personally I'd like to think that the Archai can create universes to order, when making their baby/basement universes; but when we asked Adam (Getchell) about this, he indicated that it is is more likely that any child universe would resemble the parent universe quite closely. This probably allows a bit of leeway, but not much. I seem to remember that some people such as Lee Smolin have suggested that there is a process of evolution involved in universe generation, so that new universes which are slightly different can spawn newer universes which are even more different, and so on.
But this idea is highly speculative, and is likely to remain so until we can start making our own baby universes (a process which might, in reall-life, be highly dangerous).
