Are there 4 possibities with switches using a stereo jack and a y-connector?
As far as I can tell you need the omni for that. The basic buddy switch connection on the CJSM/CJSM2 is system on/off on 1 switch and profile or profile/mode stepping on the other.

I don't think so, only power on/off

My understanding is that an Omni with attached input module and mini-joystick has the same/similar look & feel & functionality as a CJSM2 but has more flexible mounting/positioning options. It may suit you better. I'm surprised your OT/wheelchair dealer or whoever specc'd up the chair for you didn't check your reach for the functionality on a CJSM2.

I've a breadboard setup that I'm using to reverse-engineer the R-Net message protocols. I have bluetooth connectivity to it so I can monitor/control my chair from my phone, or I could have physical switches directly attached if I wanted. Its not a product yet, just a work in progress, but it should eventually be able to do all you'd want. I can't give you a definitive date as yet, but hopefully within a few months.
If you can get an Omni2 & mini-joystick for no or minimal additional cost then I'd see if the company will lend you one and work with you to configure it to suit (and take it back if not). That will be your best supported option.
If not then the next lowest cost/quickest option IMHO may well be a hacked second joystick (an older LED one would do) with either new physical buttons in a custom housing or potentially bluetooth activation.
rover220 may have other ideas (he knows more about the speciality options than I). You could PM him if he doesn't pop-up here...
