I don't know of any patch that adds an extra row to the home screen. But there is a patch that will remove the two text links at the bottom of the home screen (Remove footer (row3) and increase cover size on new home screen in nickel.yaml). I've attached an image of my home screen after the patch.

The top half of the home screen will display up to four currently reading covers. If you are only currently reading one book, it will display that book on the left and then a collection on the right.

Second row will always display My Books on the left and some random collection on the right. If your Kobo is new, the random collection will be a recommendations link to the Kobo store, but that will go away as you use your device.

I think the permanent My Books collection should go away since there is also a My Books button at the bottom of the screen.
