Hi, I do not know this footprint, but when I need a zone in the midle of a footprint, I also create a row of square pins all of them with number 0 (zero). So I have only one pin with number 0 in the Eeschema component.
If you create a single big pad or a zone in the module, the component wil be floating on the solder paste, like a surfing table on a wave, when soldering. Pedro. > Thank you - that's useful.
