In recent months, some new RSA functions have been added, from suggestions and work of Nikos. I'd like to hear comments on the interface before release.

Do you think this looks good? I see that there's some inconsistency of using "nettle_random_func random" vs "nettle_random_func *random", the latter variant is the preferred form.

If this is because of me, feel free to correct it. It must have been a typo.

3. Should I rename it to _pkcs1_signature_prefix, in order to (i) make it more clear it's an internal function, and (ii) make applications depending on the old behaviour break in a more predictable fashion?

I'd say this is a good option. If you care about backwards compatibility then the old function could also be present.
