Yes, use the MSDOS Prompt...

If you use the /T: and /N: flags, you can set the number of tracks & Sectors...

For example

FORMAT A: /T:80 /N:10

Would format a 80 Track Disk, with 10 Sectors per track

A general rule, that has been with MSDOS, is that almost all of the commands can be checked for how to use them... use the /? at the end of any comand!

So, you can see what I mean by typing

FORMAT /?

And it will tell you how to use the command!

OK?
