I don't understand the question. As long as it starts with # you can
write as many comments into the kickstart file as you want.

i.e.
# Use network installation
url --url="http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/"
# Add EPEL right from the start to make things easier
# And another comment
repo --name="EPEL"
--baseurl=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/ --cost=5
