Implement a chip driver with a set of read/write functions.
Claim it has two pages, with the second page only implementing a single
temperature sensor. In the read/write functions, handle page 0 normally,
and access the second sensor whenever page 1 is accessed.

The comments there are a bit concerning.

"* Virtual registers.
  * Useful to support attributes which are not supported by standard PMBus
  * registers but exist as manufacturer specific registers on individual chips.
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  * Must be mapped to real registers in device specific code.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"

Then,

"... is Manufacturer specific command. These are not Virtual registers."

Isn't that exactly what the "Virtual registers" description states ?
How can that be explained better ?

Either case, I see no need to define a virtual register for a 4th temperature
sensor. This can easily be implemented with the mechanism described above.
