Is there anyway of uploading Custom Slot Types values via an API, so that you do not need to type them in manually using the new Alexa Skill Builder interface (if you have many of them):
I haven't found anything.

My recommendation is to get the model via SMAPI first, edit the json file with your new values and update it via SMAPI again.
ask api get-model -s "enter your skill id here" --stage development -l en-US > model.json
in the model.json file you can see the slots definition. Change it (with a script or manually) and update the model again
Reference to both commands:
Yes you can do this via the SMAPI API/CLI. Take a look at https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/ask-cli-intro.html for a full detail - it allows for full model editing via JSON.
In the left bar bellow the "Intents" and "Slot" is the option "JSON Editor". There you can write a JSON for the new intents you want to add.
Example without slot type
{
"name":"YesIntent",
"samples":[
"Yes",
"Yeah",
"I do",
"I am"
]
}
Example with slot type
{
"name":"NumberIntent",
"slots":[
{
"name":"number",
"type":"AMAZON.NUMBER"
}
],
"samples":[
"{number} is my number",
"{number}",
"my number is {number}"
]
}
