That white patch is the milk in the belly. That just looks like an extremely full kit. I would say he overate. I would just make sure mom is stimulating the kit to pee/defecate and if not I would step in and help using a warm moistened cotton ball, just to make sure the large belly isn't from a bladder that is too full and hasn't been stimulated to empty.
 
Are you sure cause on the belly it looks red or bloated

I’ve read others having newborns with what appeared to be bloat. I would recommend taking it to the vet. If it is bloat then it’s usually fatal.
 
Those pictures show it better. Yes it does look bloated. I agree with majorv, if it's still bloated take it to a rabbit vet. At that age though, I'm not sure what can be done.
