Is It Possible To Add Options Individually To PVR Search Terms?

gip already does this, but you seem to be getting search terms and pvr
settings mixed up.

if you can write a command line that does what you want, then adding
--pvr-add will store all the options you set as part of the pvr
settings.

so for example

get_iplayer --type radio --force --overwrite --file-prefix
"Caithream_Ciùil_-_<episodeshort>" "Caithream Ci.il" --pvr-add
caithream_ciuil

yields a pvr file containing
    fileprefix Caithream_Ciùil_-_<episodeshort>
    force 1
    overwrite 1
    type radio
    search0 Caithream Ci.il

you might also like to look at using --preset - this allows you to
configure groups of settings which you can then use later.

one other note, your fileprefix should probably be something like
"<name>_-_<episodeshort>" - see also
