That's a known issue... I have too the same problem (need another pair of front/back paired drawing layers).
The problem is that, for now, pcbnew is hardcoded for 32 layers and their relationship is hardcoded too. There was someone months ago who worked on a more flexible layer structure but I don't know how it was...
An interim 'simple' solution would be to 'requisite' the Eco1/Eco2 layers as an additional front/back pair... simple is between quotes since the front/back relationship isn't really all coded in one place...
I'd say, one more vote for this in the wishlist!
