The quick version is: libffi doesn't have a way to do so.  You need to
either fake it with structs like Matthew showed, or you can do it more
manually: malloc a piece of memory and `ptr-ref' parts of it directly.
But that won't work inside a struct -- I don't know of any API in
libffi to create a type with a given size/alignment.

It is, but I don't see how to add it...
