Something like:
lmod$reTrms$Ztlist <- list(Matrix(t(W)), Z2, Z3, Z4, ...)
where the additional `Z` components are the random-effects models for
the additional terms you want (you could for example pull these from an
`lFormula()` call using a formula that included those components in the
random effects), and
lmod$reTrms$Zt <- do.call(rbind, lmod$reTrms$Ztlist)
(I think)
