Thanks Christophe, I was wondering if that would work. I did something similar, a big pad 11 that has the hole in the middle and 4 small-overlapping pads 12-15 with the holes in the corners. My worry (if I give them the same number) was... how will I choose between them when I right-click and I'd get a disambiguation dialog asking me to choose between pad 11 and pad 11 (if I need to edit something, for example)? I had to make them invisible in the symbol but give them the name of the net they-ll connect to... I'm not sure that's the best way.
