The course I am working on, you have fairways, and you have long rough, and then HEAVY rough
Is there a way to set the "light rough" to be a bit rougher, scaling towards the more punishing side of the %ranges?

Not more punishing in terms of lie percentage, but you can turn down the firmness and roll. Taking out some roll would add a few yards to any approach shots out of the rough, thus making the approach more difficult.
It's not exactly the same, but at least a tool in the bag.

Actually, if you turn down firmness & roll on the light rough layer it will be 'tougher'. It won't look any different, but turned down to .1, will chop a few more percentage points off of any lie in it. I usually set my Light to about .7, and Heavy to .4, Bunkers to .6 or so. If it were a 'resort' course, everything gets turned up, for a 'US Open' you might set Light to only .3, and Heavy to .1.
It's only maybe 12 percent different between the extremes, though, iirc, so only so much you can do.

Send it to a bad neighborhood with no money for a few weeks, usually works.

or you can turn up the firmness and roll on the light rough so that balls (with speed) will just roll through the light rough and end up in the heavy rough. Sneaky trick- balls that just trickle through the fairway will stop in the light rough, but anything with speed with just roll on through to the thick stuff.
