Actually, your post is similar to mine in December. See here:

You can estimate those "gappy" VARs using the "system" command.
However,
as far as I know this is not supported within the SVAR package.
JMulti also supports "gappy" VARS and even includes an algorithm for
testing these restrictions. Addtionally, you can impose further
restrictions on the VCV matrix following the SVAR methodology.
