I think that clause can be written as a subselect and added to the
expression. Or just make that a separate function and AND the
function call with your query expression.

You can make it a big multi-line string. Or you can build the string,
something like:
declare
_sql
begin
_sql := _sql + 'select ...'
_sql := _sql + ' where ...'
But using the form without execute is much better. PostgreSQL will
only have to plan the query the first time it is called. Using
EXECUTE is much less efficient.
