I am not (yet) a user of avr-gcc but I would assume the compiler is
internally optimized for 16/8 bit adds and thus would already implement 16
bits adds optimized as you describe.

I suggest that you might be able to use a data structure comprising a union
of a two byte array with a 16 bit "word"; the two byte array would be the
HI and the LO components of your csumlo/hi result. And add to the "word"
component would then be automatically reflected in the HI and LO components
in the two byte array as appropriate.
