Using external files would be a big change, but making indent style configurable should be easier. I'm not sure how important this is, but so far people have been happy with the Geany codebase style indenting (as the original author Alexander Rodin implemented).

One way to support different indent styles may be to use the Special snippet keys 'brace_open' and 'brace_close', so there is just one place for a user to configure it.
