Typically:
(setq var1 val1
var2 val2
var3 val3)
But see also `setq-default'; it might be more appropriate for some variables.
As an alternative to not using `custom-set-variables', consider having a
separate custom file, the value of variable `custom-file', and letting Customize
manage `custom-set-variables' there. That will keep Customize out of your init
file (~/.emacs). See the Emacs manual, node Saving Customizations.
