This is the snippet of code from my .xinitrc file. I enable dpms and
then have set the various power saving options this way:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Enable DPMS support for our monitor
#
xset +dpms
xset dpms 600 1800 3600

The first value is standby, the second suspend, and the third is off.
All values are in seconds. I haven't looked into modifying my XF86Config
file but from the options you list it gives pretty much the same control
as what xset allows. Putting these control into XF86Config is probably a
better way to since it will enable the power saving features for all
users. Since I have my settings in my ~/.xinitrc file these settings are
only for my user.
