I did look at the ebuild but patches weren't named individually there ... It looked as though all .patch files for that version in the /files dir would be applied automatically, but that's probably just my poor understanding of ebuilds :(
Anyway, got there in the end with the new patch. Just had to freeze the build with Ctrl+Z at the right moment and apply the patch manually.
Having done this, I can report that hplip builds successfully with the patch on x86 and amd64. (Whether it will now work, that's another matter...)
