You can just build a model using the four templates you have above,
using essentially the alignment you show (except using - for a gap
rather than x, of course). If your LOOP-* templates actually have
additional structure (e.g. coordinates for the non-loop regions) then
you can either edit the PDB file and take that structure out, or list
that sequence in the alignment file as per usual (just align it with
gaps in the target sequence, so that that structure isn't used in the
model).
