I believe you just specify the T parameter for the M104/M109 command, T0 being extruder nr1 and T1 being extruder nr2...
M104 S200 T0 ; set 1st extruder temp to 200, don't wait for preheat
M109 S200 T1 ; set 2nd extruder temp to 200 deg, wait wait for preheating
But you may need to send tool change first with M6, or change gcode to address extruder via A/B axis. I am not sure which one Ultimaker / Marlin supports.
M6 T1 ; change to 2nd extruder
G1 E10 ; extrude 10mm from 2nd extruder
M6 T0 ; change to 1st extruder
G1 E10 ; extrude 10mm from 1st extruder
- or -
G1 A10 ; extrude 10mm from 1st extruder
G1 B10 ; extrude 10mm from 2nd extruder
I don't know which is correct, it shouldn't hurt anything to test via console, but I can't be responsible if you break your Ultimaker.
Either way you would likely need slicer support for dual extrusion, or handroll your gcode. I believe the development version of Cura has some support coming for this, hopefully Daid can provide some more info.
Cura already has dual-extrusion support for 2 versions now.
The "G1 A10" won't work, only the E and switching with T are implemented. Which is a bit of a shame, as the A/B method could control extruders at the same time.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
