I see.. Linda, it is risky.
You should add custom tops with adsplice in EBS 12.2. So adsplice writes the directory names and everyting to the relevant places (in the database).
So changing custom env is a risky thing, it is not a good plan (in my opinion) --(some code may take the path from the env variable, but some may take it from the database..)

What you can do is, playing with the cleprod.txt...
remember, as for adding the a custom top in application, you copy the cleprod.txt to xxcustom.txt and use that file during the run of the adsplice.
When you open cleprod.txt , you will see the inputs (adsplice inputs actually)
So if modify them, then maybe you can reach your goal. (you can do several tests to see the results of your modification)
Open the cleprod.txt and see what I mean.

I.e Following lines:
the abbrevation "may be" the name of the custom directory. ( because it is written lowercase -- you see what I mean, but this is just a guess.. I worths trying..)

# application id, abbreviation, shortname, prefix
13014 cle CLE APP

If you modify this line, maybe you can change the behaviour of adsplice.

So, if I were you, I would go with the adsplice but I would try the change the behaviour of adsplice...

Also, consider having ( application_name,base_path and actual directory to be the same. Maybe it is the time to make it normal. :)

I also don't see a point for having this conf. If you need this conf in your custom apps layer, then change the  standard apps conf  to be the normal, and do a trick in your custom apps layer, or OS. (for example, in Os you can create a softlink...)

Anyways, these are my thoughts.
I hope you 'll work around this... Update me with your action plan and the result:)
