Use the Landing Id (Fig.7) as the form Id and the column names of the additional customer data table for mapping the landing page fields.

After integration, when a new set of data is submitted in the additional customer data landing page, a corresponding record will be created in UsrAdditionalCustomerData object.
You can write a process to link the newly created record with the corresponding lead automatically or, can give a page where the sales team can review the submitted data and connect with corresponding lead.
