I want to achieve the external data file creation
"qemu-img create -o data_file_raw=on,data_file=path/to/file"
but there is no way to specify those options while using virt-builder.

Could be useful to know what particular options you are interested in.
Maybe qemu-img create "-o" stuff?

I'm not totally sure what this question means. virt-builder is really
a tool that downloads and uncompresses templates (from:
https://builder.libguestfs.org/ and other places) and then customizes
them using the same code as used in virt-customize. So you can split
up the two tasks yourself easily enough, if that's what you mean.
Virt-customize can be used across many different OSes.
