Lou, from Bill's "changes Log.rtf-

"Added a new free Mac-only application, "Extract Monaco Lab",  that reads an RGB 729 or RGB 1728 
Lab measurement file and writes a text file of Lab values sorted into the sequence required by MonacoProfiler.
Use MeasureTool or ColorPort to read any of my RGB 729 or RGB 1728 targets.  
From MeasureTool choose "Export Lab", or from ColorPort save the measurement data in CGATS format.
Run "Extract Monaco Lab", then import the resulting text file of Lab values into MonacoProfiler.
I worry about the long term support liability of releasing an application, but right now this is the only way 
for most people to use MonacoProfiler with my targets or with the Eye-One iO.  Free but no support."

so, go to his site and download the utility, it works, but only for those two chart sizes.
If you are on a PC try Eric Chan's site, I might recall he has a pc version of a similar utility.
Custom CMYK charts are not possible with Monaco. Although, if you play around with the options, you can customize the patch size and the spacing for smaller physical layouts. A bit clunky though.

Monaco generates its own targets, but they are massive and use 3 to 4 times as much paper.  For example, I can print Bill Atkinson's 1728 patch RGB target on one 11x17 sheet of paper.  A 1728 patch target created from Monaco Profiler requires three 17x22 sheets of paper!
