My DM's given me a weapon that, essentially, rolls two damage dice rather than the Longsword+1's one damage die (the second damage die is meant to be radiant damage but I'm not bothered if this is necessarily implemented, as long as the when I roll to attack, I get the correct total).
I'm not sure what to add to a homebrew Longsword+1 to make this happen? Assistance appreciated!
It is not currently possible. You can totally add an additional damage die of radiant damage, but the system won’t roll it. The character sheet is incapable of combining those die rolls. Even official stuff like a flame tongue doesn’t have the extra damage rolled.

If you don't care about the damage type being displayed then you could adapt one of several firearm weapons. You won't be able to change it from ranged to melee and it'll still display all the firearm weapon properties, but this is the only way I've found to make a 2d8 weapon. I made an Everything you need to know about creating Homebrew Weapons thread that can help.
I'd suggest a Blunderbuss (Exandria), add the versatile weapon property, with the modifier: BONUS / MAGIC / 1, and your descriptive text listing all the things the weapon does and what things to ignore.
