Have you tried using a white balance target, and the spot setting for the 
white balance module? IMO that should give you the result you want, with less 
hassle than the color target.

I don't see what you expect to gain from using a 24-patch colour target (which 
should be lit evenly btw., not like in the sample image you posted) instead of 
a white balance target (and using the "spot" option in the WB module in DT, of 
course). The more so since 24 patches for a LUT profile (which is what you 
propose to make) is not recommended (the profiles generated from such targets 
are matrix profiles)
