External node classifiers, such as the one integrated into the Puppet console, cannot assign individual resources to nodes; they can only set global variables and assign classes. Defined type instances are resources. As Paul described, you can wrap multiple defined type instance declarations into a class, and assign that (via the console or otherwise). There are also approaches involving external data accessed via the hiera() function or automated class parameter binding. These would still involve preparing an appropriate class definition.
