I'm quite sure that you will need to do this via synthetic records being
returned either by the gov.uk name servers or by having gov.uk refer to a
general "parked domain" name server (farm) for all of the non-existent
subdomains ...

With your current DNS setup, you could add this, no new name servers needed:

*.gov.uk. IN TXT "v=spf1 -all"
*.gov.uk. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:<something>; 
ruf=mailto:<something>"

This will cover all undelegated names below gov.uk, e.g. abc.gov.uk and abc.def.gov.uk. It won't cover names under existing subdomains, e.g. abc.mod.gov.uk but it's better than nothing.

Unless the people who host your DNS are willing to let you use customized stunt servers, which seems unlikely considering who they are, that's about the best you can do without getting the cooperation of your delegatees.
