Kiwi only supports a few partitioning schemes, it does not allow to add random other partitions AFAIK. Every scheme needs to be defined in the XML Schema and needs a matching implementation in Kiwi. Have you checked out Alex' new non-Kiwi approach for RPi3 and Pine64? That should allow to create custom bootloader partitions. Just keep in mind that U-Boot might check only the first partition if none is flagged as bootable, so you may want to keep EFI first even if physically second.
