The documentation for the line-spacing variable says:

Documentation:
Additional space to put between lines when displaying a buffer. The
space is measured in pixels, and put below lines on graphic displays,
see ‘display-graphic-p’.
If value is a floating point number, it specifies the spacing relative
to the default frame line height.  A value of nil means add no extra space.

I think the values in the menu would simply be divided by 100.
