Unfortunately adding to that is going to be a challenge if you don't have moderate PHP programming skills. That's not to say you can't modify it, but that's one of the more involved areas of FlexCMS to alter. It's set up to be manageable from the control panel and verify the user input, so it's less a standard form and more a script.
There are two arrays ($FieldName and $FieldCode) you'll need to add your fields to, and an array ($RegFormOpts) that controls whether they're required or optional (or displayed at all). And then it's also going to need some modifications on the back end to handle exactly what happens with check boxes since that's a little different from a standard input box or dropdown.
And of course we're always happy to give you a quote for a custom programming project -- send exactly what you're looking for to if you're interested in going that route.

The $UserNumber variable will give you the unique number of the current user (which corresponds to the RecordNumber key in the core-Users table), so it's easy to link the data with the right record.
The "Destination After Login" setting in the Modify Site Preferences area could also be used to direct them to your form page after they complete the registration and log in, and that page could check to see whether the required data exists in the database already to direct them elsewhere if they've already completed it.
