Something like:

(in RCVDIST_SWITCHES)

    X("width columns", -5, WIDTHSW) \
    X("library directory", -7, LIBRARYSW) \
    X("idanno number", -6, ANNOWSW) \
    X("client host", -6, CLIENTSW) \
    X("server host", -6, SERVERSW) \
    X("port portname/number", -4, PORTSW) \
    [... etc ...]

and in the case argument:

    case WIDTHSW:
    case LIBRARYSW:
    case ANNOSW:
    case CLIENTSW:
    case SERVESW:
    case PORTSW:
    [... etc ...]
        if (argp && *argp) {
            vec[vecp++] = *argp++;
        } else {
            die("missing argument to %s", argp[-2]);
        }

Basically what we do everywhere else, which honestly, should have been
done way back in 1990 when rcvdist was first committed (let's call it,
"Fixing a 28 year old bug" :-)). We can save the global fix for this for
later.
