The relevant DKIM construct would appear to be the signature domain parameters 
(d={something}). This would seem like a more fruitful approach, although you'd 
need your customer's co-operation on extracting and forwarding to you the DMARC 
feedback rows which use your allocated sub-domain. So:


_dmarc.example.com IN TXT "...adkim=r..." (or no adkim=)


From: Example Inc. <[email protected]>
DKIM-Signature: ...d=sender.example.com...


The relaxed alignment rules only require that the 5322.From domain and the d= 
domain belong to the same organisational domain, not that either be a parent of 
the other.

More broadly, I appear to have missed the motivation for what you're doing: 
DMARC implementations are most frequently aimed at detecting unauthorised[1] 
use of domain names and are therefore an organisation-wide concern, rather than 
that of an outsourced sender. They have some use as a check on misconfiguration 
of sending infrastructure but, again, if an organisation is already using DMARC 
to monitor unauthorised use of their domain names then identifying errors of 
this type is a straight-forward part of what they're already doing. What are 
you trying to use DMARC to achieve?

1: No doubt someone will argue about the appropriate adjective here. It doesn't 
change the argument about DMARC implementations generally being 
organisation-wide concerns.
