Thanks Ozgur! It set me on the right path, I ended up doing the following:

Advice: {
  OriginatingAccountRecords: {
    OriginatingAccountRecord: {
      OriginatingAccount: {},
        ReturnedDebitItem: getReturnedDebitItems()
    }
  }
}

function getReturnedDebitItems(){
    return [
      { "@ref": "a", "@code": "b", PayerAccount: {'@number': 123} },
      { "@ref": "a", "@code": "b", PayerAccount: {'@number': 123} },
      { "@ref": "c", "@code": "b", PayerAccount: {'@number': 123} }
    ];
  }

Resulting in:

<Advice>
  <OriginatingAccountRecords>
    <OriginatingAccountRecord>
      <OriginatingAccount/>
      <test/>
      <test/>
      <test/>
      <test2/>
      <ReturnedDebitItem ref="a" code="b">
        <PayerAccount number="123"/>
      </ReturnedDebitItem>
      <ReturnedDebitItem ref="a" code="b">
        <PayerAccount number="123"/>
      </ReturnedDebitItem>
      <ReturnedDebitItem ref="c" code="b">
        <PayerAccount number="123"/>
      </ReturnedDebitItem>
    </OriginatingAccountRecord>
  </OriginatingAccountRecords>
</Advice>

I also found using XPath to find the nodes and then inserting elements also works

var nodes = xpath.select('//OriginatingAccount', root);
  nodes[0].insertAfter("test2")
  nodes[0].insertAfter("test")
  nodes[0].insertAfter("test")
  nodes[0].insertAfter("test")

Please see: https://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js/wiki/Conversion-From-Object#arrays

Basically you need something like:

var obj = {
    BACSDocument: {
      '@xmlns:xsi':'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance',
      '@xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation': 'newbacs-advices.xsd',
      Data: {
        ARUDD: {
          Header:{
            '@reportType':'xxx',
            '@adviceNumber':'xxx',
            '@currentProcessingDate':'xxx',
          },
          AddresseeInformation: {
            '@name': 'xxx'
          },
          ServiceLicenseInformation: {
            '@userName': 'xxx',
            '@userNumber': 'xxx'
          },
          Advice: {
            OriginatingAccountRecords: {
              OriginatingAccountRecord: {
                OriginatingAccount: {
                  ReturnedDebitItem: [42, 42, 42]
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  };

  var root = builder.begin().ele(obj).end({pretty: true});
