Hi Homeiramir -- Your idea should work as expected by adding another layer to the construction for the surface.
Note that EnergyPlus doesn't take thermal bridges into account by default. You'll have to model the thermal bridge by a reduction in R value for a layer in the construction. See this previous post, or this one. Denis Bourgeois published a measure that is useful for precalculating and derating constructions for major thermal bridges.
