You'll have to extend the Fileloader, but it's very simple:

class FileLoader extends \Illuminate\Config\FileLoader
{
    public function save($items, $environment, $group, $namespace = null)
    {
        $path = $this->getPath($namespace);

        if (is_null($path))
        {
            return;
        }

        $file = (!$environment || ($environment == 'production'))
            ? "{$path}/{$group}.php"
            : "{$path}/{$environment}/{$group}.php";

        $this->files->put($file, '

Usage:

$l = new FileLoader(
    new Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem(), 
    base_path().'/config'
);

$conf = ['mykey' => 'thevalue'];

$l->save($conf, '', 'customconfig');
