The value is stored in the kernel as a blocks count, so it is possible to store any value there. It should be possible to change the mke2fs and tune2fs option parsing to accept a float there. I think you can set this manually via debugfs and "ssv" (in the latest e2fsprogs there is also a command to set a single superblock value).
