Note: the following assumes Cura comes with a profile for your printer. If you had to download one from elsewhere then it's similar in theory but you edit files in a different folder (%APPDATA%\cura\5.4\).
The config files for nozzles are located in C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.4.0\share\cura\resources\variants\ (then subdirectory for your printer's manufacturer).
The files themselves are pretty simple. Here's an example for a Creality Ender-3 (creality_ender3_0.4.inst.cfg):
[general]
definition = creality_ender3
name = 0.4mm Nozzle
version = 4
[metadata]
hardware_type = nozzle
setting_version = 22
type = variant
[values]
machine_nozzle_size = 0.4
TBH I don't know what the version numbers mean. But they're not hugely important here.
The main parts are the definition, which is the filename of your printer's config file in C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.4.0\share\cura\resources\definitions, minus the .def.json and the machine_nozzle_size which actually specifies the size (although you should probably set the name too or else things get real confusing).
If there are nozzle definitions for your printer already, then you can just create copies, just give them the appropriate filename and change the name and machine_nozzle_size values.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
