You can't right now
At least not officially. Unofficially... delete the other launchers (OpenOfficePortableWrite.exe, etc) in the OpenOfficePortable directory except for the OpenOfficePortable.exe launcher. Then rename OpenOfficePortable.exe to OpenOfficePortable2.exe. It's a temporary hack.
A later release of the menu will allow you to select whether you want a single icon or multiple icons for apps like OOP.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Another solution
i couldn't get the above hack to work. it looks as though PAM reads the 'friendlyname' from the launchers and disreguards one that has 'OpenOffice.org Portable' as the friendly name. Here's the solution i came up with:
1. Opened \PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\Other\OpenOfficePortableSource\OpenOfficePortableApp.nsi
2. Change the following section of code:
ORIGINAL
!define NAME "OpenOfficeBasePortable"
!define FRIENDLYNAME "OpenOffice.org Base Portable"
!define APP "OpenOfficeBase"
!define VER "1.2.1.0"
!define WEBSITE "PortableApps.com/OpenOfficePortable"
!define EXECTHIS "OpenOfficePortable.exe -base"
MODIFIED
!define NAME "OpenOfficeBasePortable"
!define FRIENDLYNAME "OpenOffice.org Portable"
!define APP "OpenOffice"
!define VER "1.2.1.0"
!define WEBSITE "PortableApps.com/OpenOfficePortable"
!define EXECTHIS "OpenOfficePortable.exe"
(Note the extra space between OpenOffice.org and Portable in the friendlyname)
3. Saved as MyOpenOfficePortableApp.nsi
4. Compiled with NSIS
5. Renamed the resulting OpenOfficeBasePortable.exe to OpenOfficePortable2.exe
6. Moved it to \PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\
