I want to store extra information with my users, the only option I see is to create extended fields per user.

How can I add extended fields for every user at once instead of creating them manually for every user?

In the future, there may be a checkbox for that option when you create an extended field.

In the meantime, the only alternative would be a utility snippet or plugin, something like this:

<?php
$users = $modx->getCollection('modUser');

foreach ($users as $user) {

     $profile = $user->getOne('Profile');
     $extendedFields = $profile->get('extended;)
     $extendedFields['newField'] = 'NewValue'; // could be ""
     $profile->set('extended', $extendedFields);
     $profile->save();
}

I assume you know you could add hidden fields in the registration to create these on user creation as well:

                <input type="hidden" name="januarySpaces" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryTables" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryChairs" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryNeedsElectric" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryMisc" value="" />
