Nothing is keeping you from using more than one copy of Element 3D. All you have to do is change the Render Mode of the top copy to Unified.

It would probably make a lot more sense to actually model them in Cinema 4D Lite (or another 3D program for that matter) using Extrude objects and bring them in via the E3D editor as objects. Likely the E3D extrusions won't look good, anyway. Such stuff typically requires some work to clean up the contours.

That's not possible, apparently. These things are hard-coded. Whatever you are trying to do will require a different approach. If your GPU has enough power, you can try and apply two instances of E3D and enable the unified rendering, but otherwise you will need to figure out something else. If you explain what you are trying to achieve, we may be able to advise.
