The advantage of exporting the structure is that the user may add her

In that case the library likely also provides its own functions that use
the extra data. And since the purpose of customizing FILE* is to be able
to use the built-in functions, it seems superfluous. However, the
exported FILE* factory could offer to add extra size to the structure
that can be written to. Any internal Lua fields would be in front of the
public fields, then extended data after. It also allows the userdata to
be created prior to opening the handle. Something like:
lua_file* F = luaL_createfilehandle(L, extrasize);
F->fclose = myclose;
F->fptr = fopen(...);
((MyFile*)F)->extra = whatever;
