What do you mean? Not sure i understand this correctly.

I am not suggesting any default settings - basically just add granularity to the existing settings.  
E.g. on our site we want to have top/weekly as the landing page - however we don’t know how many topics we will have per week.

So basically we want to change the settings from  
“Show _X_ number of top posts from selected time period, ONLY if a minimum of _X_ number of posts were created in time period”

to something more flexible, ala.  
“Show top posts from selected time period, ONLY if a minimum of _X_ number of posts were created in time period”
