Custom how?
Many manufacturers offer single strings in gauges other than what their standard packaging is.

I think GHS will even package custom gauge sets for you. In terms of custom winding ratios, wrap material, core design, etc., yes, that's where strings like MTD, Ken Smith, Lakland and so on come from. But, of course, there would be minimums (probably pretty big minimums) on stuff like that. Alembic, for instance, doesn't wind their own strings, but supplies the materials to the people who do.

Garry Goodman runs http://octave4plus.com - I've never used nor ordered his strings so I can't vouch for much, but he winds to order it's my understanding.
