Specifying the optional features above modifies the configuration file used during installation (AdminDeployment.xml). If that is not enough you can provide this file on your own.
Example:
choco install VisualStudio2015Professional -packageParameters "--AdminFile c:\path to your\AdminDeployment.xml"
choco install VisualStudio2015Professional -packageParameters "--AdminFile http://path/to/your/AdminDeployment.xml"
