You can't add placeholders to layouts. What you see is what you get. A work
around is to set up a normal slide with the additional subtitle text box and
then duplicate and edit that slide whenever you need it.
As Sonia says, PPT doesn't let you natively add Placeholders. But I've
written an add-in called ShapeStyles available as a demo at
pptools.com that provides this functionality, even though it's truly
not a placeholder but just a regular ol' textbox that is a wanna be
placeholder.

Does this mean that I can set up a slide master with multiple placeholders?
My specific use is to have "leader text" above the bulleted text in the body
of my slides. All I need is two placeholders instead of one. I checked out
the web site that you referenced, but I was a little confused about wether
ShapeStyles would work for this purpose.

You could create a text box formatted and even positioned the way you want,
then "memorize" it as a style. Then on any other slide, you'd just have to
select that style then click the Apply Style button to create a new text box
exactly like the one you memorized.
