Dr Loboto is correct - you'll have to output the elements individually
rather than as a group. You can use the form helper to create the
individual checkboxes, but getting the text field to display inline
nicely may require some tinkering. Or just code the html yourself -
that's what I ended up doing recently for a similar scenario with
radio buttons. Form helper is nice but can't be expected to cover
every formatting possibility.
Don't forget to add some javascript that will clear the text field
again if its checkbox is unselected
