This is untested but you should get the idea:

<xsd:simpleType name="aFewMoreEnums">
  <xsd:union memberTypes="aFewEnums">
    <xsd:simpleType>
      <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
        <xsd:enumeration value="D"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="E"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="F"/>      
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleType>
  </xsd:union>
</xsd:simpleType>

Hope this helps,
Jason.
