It is possible.

But, in my opinion, it is not yet necessary for your requirements.

If you want to waste your time learning schema design instead of the LDAP 
basics, that might solve your problem, that's your decision (but I'm not 
going to waste my time).

You didn't supply att.schema, but it seems that your schema definition for 
your OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.100.121 does not include the SYNTAX or SUP 
keywords, one of them is required.

And, you really shouldn't be using the OpenLDAP Foundations' OID arc ...
