In general, you would specify a list of patches to apply via the 3rd (optional) argument in ('<extension_name>', '<extension_version>', '<extension_options_dict>').
Since you also need to specify other options (source_urls, source_tmpl), you should leverage the 'ext_options' local variable for this.
Long story short, see for example https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/master/easybuild/easyconfigs/r/R/R-3.4.0-intel-2017a-X11-20170314.eb#L399:
('kohonen', '3.0.2', dict(ext_options.items() + [('patches', ['kohonen-3.0.2_icpc-wd308.patch'])])),
