So have you tried:
a) plugging the drive directly into Pine64 without the USB hub?
b) a USB 2.0 drive?
I don't have a Pine assembled at the moment or I'd try these myself, especially since I'll need this feature too on ayufan's great Android 6 build, too. So please let us know how you get on!
Thanks for your help Crispin.
I've managed to get Android (and ES File Explorer) to recognize and mount the disk using a single FAT32 or NTFS partition using MBR partition table.
However now I'm having another issue: Kodi is unable to detect the USB drive so I can't play any files stored on this drive from Kodi.
I've also tried manually browsing from Kodi to /mnt/media_rw/0A67-1313 (where the disk partition gets mounted by Android) but Kodi seems unable to open the /mnt/media_rw directory (dmesg reports an access/permission denied error or something along those lines; I'm not at my PC right now and I can't check).
I'll try to investigate this further and I'll report here if I'll make any progress, but I'm very busy with work these days and I'm not sure if/when I can do that.
