The former BBC Radio 1 DJ entered his pleas at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday. The two additional charges concern alleged offences in London in 1991 and 2004.
The Metropolitan Police said one charge was of indecent assault against a girl aged 16 or 17. The other was of sexual assault against an 18-year-old woman.
Westwood, 69, had already pleaded not guilty to 15 earlier charges involving seven women. Those include four counts of rape, nine of indecent assault and two of sexual assault, relating to alleged offences between 1983 and 2016.
The BBC reported that Westwood had been granted conditional bail and was due to face trial at Southwark Crown Court in January 2027.
