If I understand you correctly, then I dont think this can be done, explicitly, but you may be able to get around it: 1) you could create as many as you think you could need, and make the unneeded ones invisable (displayed=false) until they are needed - then when you want it, instead of 'creating' it, you would just make it visiable (displayed = true) the user would certainly think it was being created. Of course, this assumes you can define an upper number. (Although if you define, say, 100, then when the user reaches the max you just issue a message something like 'Max number of chekcboxes reached', and it looks like a system limit - but I cant imagine how you would layout 100 checkboxes).
2) Alternately - if you put it in a multi-record block, then creating a new checkbox would just be a 'next record' command.
