You can already control the number of digits from the
Settings->Options->Display page. Also, "Save settings" should save the
option, so typically you'll only need to set it once.

I've no plans to make the error rate factor available, since it's a
quite specialised feature. Most people are probably happy with the
default of 1,000. 

Two important notes:

(1) the number of digits works a bit special for the error rates as
    gnubg will show the following number of digits:
       number of digts - log10( error rate factor ) + 1
    So with a error rate factor of 1,000 and 3 digits, gnubg will show
    one digit after the decimal point.

(2) note of the other game/match statistics output honour the number of
    digits setting.
