I can't find anything bearing on this, I'm afraid.

I am writing out a piece for two pianos; so there is a grand score
containing two piano scores.  I need to add a third staff to the first
piano part for just two bars.  It will be under the two staves already
existing.  I can add the necessary staff, and it has the correct music
on it - however, it is positioning itaself under the second piano (and
drawing barlines right through):

How can I make the extra staff appear in the middle where it should be?

The solution is described in this section of the manual http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/context-layout-order. Name to the staff above the temporary staff when you create it, e.g.

\new Staff = "PianoOneLH" { ... }

Then position the temporary staff below it with

\new Staff \with { alignBelowContext = "PianoOneLH" } { ... }
