There is no mechanism in Bacula to set specific individual expiry dates
on a per-volume basis, no.  That's such a niche need you are the only
user so far to have ever asked for it, and may well be the only one ever
to ask for it.

There is no facility at this time to generate a separate report when a
volume expires and is purged, but it's a fairly simple task to create a
script that uses the console to generate a regular report of purged
volumes.  If it keeps a state log of what it has reported in the past,
it could equally easily report only newly-pruned volumes.  I don't know
whether that would meet your reporting needs, though.
