The pads will be set out on a specific grid size. To measure a size the easy way is to place the cursor on one point, then hit the space bar to zero the co-ords, move to the next point and read off the value.
There does not appear to be a datasheet on digikey for that part, but it looks like a fairly standard cap. I would think that one of the V caps would be a fit. C2V10, C1.5V8, C1V8, C1V7 If not then you will need to draw your own module. Use one of the existing as a base. Likewise for the pad setting, you can edit them to suit your own needs. Do remember to save any modified libs and modules in your OWN lib and mod directory, as the standard libs can easily get overwritten if you reinstall or ungrade the software. I am a bit surprised that you find the pads too big, I generally find them too small! Small pads are more prone to lifting when soldering or rework.
