It is possible to make a world filled with volcanoes and some sedimentary stone. Maximize volcanism variance, use a 2x2 volcanism mesh and put maximum weight on the classes of min and max volcanism. I think it's the best way to guarantee embarks with both lava and sedimentary layers.

This.

I tend to have quite a lot of volcanoes in my worlds too, but never more than one volcano tile per 100 normal tiles.

(Yes I call 1 volcano for 100 tiles a lot, because the default is more like 1 volcano for world.

Parameters. Now.

It's quite easy to just learn to do it yourself. 

Just go to the advanced parameters page, and scroll down till you hit mesh sizes and weighting on volcanism, set it to 2x2, and then change the 20-40, 40-60, and 60-80 weights to "0" so that only extremes (and the areas in the "blurred" borders between these extremes) exist. 

You can then fiddle with the ratio of volcanos to sedimentary layers by changing the remaining 0-20 (sedimentary) and 80-100 (volcanic) to different ratios.
