This seems like a pure meshing question, that I believe could be handled with for instance `gmsh` using their embed function.  
See for instance; [Fail to read tagged facets from mesh generated with GMSH - #2 by dokken](https://fenicsproject.discourse.group/t/fail-to-read-tagged-facets-from-mesh-generated-with-gmsh/17082/2)
