Is it possible to write a define statement in wp-config.php that only applies to one website in a multisite environment?

Basically like conditional instructions per website...

e.g. All of website allows for define ( revisions 3 ); but I wan't one of the website's in the multisite environment to have define ( revisions 10 ); that is setup for training.

Any help would be appreciated.
