In fact, in the early days, I developed a way to do manual tuning. 
It's written up in bogofilter-tuning.HOWTO, which is still in the
0.16.4 distribution's doc directory.  Even there I make the point that
you need a statistically valid number of messages in your corpus for
really worthwhile results, but at least the process explained there
might do better than bogotune with small numbers.
