Here is the way we make connectors: it is a symbol with only one pin and many slots as it needs (if you need a 25 pin connector, they will have 25 slots). It has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can put the pins with the space you want. And you can put a piece of the connector on one page and another piece in another page. That is common. For example, if you take a look in some aviation manual, they use very very large connectors, that simply doenst fit in one single page, and normally have a name like CN1 part 1/3. The disavantage is that when you place a large connector, you must set the slot pin by pin, and that sucks. A good way would be have a function that when you place a multi slot component, the next you place receive a next slot automagically, but that means code, and I am a comnpletelly dumb ass about programming...
