1) put some (0x10 bytes) before your EEPROM_ARRAY var with another var.
If you already use this then bytes this cap should allready be there.
If this eeprom location is used only from the outside world it seems a bit
misterious.

2) Add a new section for this like .eeprom.sec2 
You can sort all eeprom sections with command line options "--sort-section
name" in actual binutils. Then you have to give the gap via another var in
maybe another
section like .eeprom.sec1 and the sorting guarantees that the values are
correct
located.
2b) or you can provide your own linker script and provide your own 
section start. "eeprom (rw!x) : ORIGIN = 0x810010, LENGTH = ??K" This could
also be done from command line if only a single section is needed.
"--section-start sectionname=org"

Bye
