It looks like you can only choose 3 criteria from Data -> Sort. Is there a way (potentially programmatic) to use additional criteria?

No, without adjusting the code it is not possible to do that. In theory it should be quite easy to adjust this and remove this limitation. For the 3-5 release a voluteer did something similar already for conditional formatting.
The code is in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/inc/sortparam.hxx but it is not just done with increasing MAXSORT. There needs to be a according change in the ui too and ideally switching to a std::vector or another dynamic datastructure. This is an easy task and I just created https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45747 for this. So if you wanna join in Libreoffice development you can easily do this.
