Well, I peaked at the (scary) lexer file and found these lines of interest:
WordList &keywords = *keywordlists[0];
WordList &keywords2 = *keywordlists[1];
static const char * const pythonWordListDesc[] = {
"Keywords",
"Highlighted identifiers",
0
};
They look like they are begging to be added to, but I know I'll just
end up breaking everything. What I *didn't* see, though, was how these
keywords lists are tied to style numbers, so even if I could add a
third or fourth group, I'm not adept enough with C++ to read how they
are being treated.

OK. No, you would not be able to add a "keyword3" group - "keyword2"
works because the [Python] lexer's code is written to use it if present.
Look in the .properties file(s) - they are by convention commented
enough to show the correspondence between syntactic constructs and
style numbers.
Note that while the Scintilla *client* (SciTE in this case) loads the
styling information from the .properties file, it is only the lexer
itself that *sets* those style bytes in the buffer.
