It isn't possible, as I know. You can use CP tools (at right of menu) to do
the same thing with more visual control (press TAB to select a curve
segment, then use them). It is also possible to export model to sPatch
format, and to do changes in sPatch file (that's a text file). I never did
this.
Some common way is to do a only one side of  object, then mirror and weld
it. In my
bezier patches times :), I avoiding adjusting curvature at all, I added some
extra curves instead. It's hard to find adjusted curved later- it's a messy
way of modeling.
