Well, I won't do it for you, but have a look at the way my & Jason Harper's "soculator" generates scripts (http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/ Electronics/soculator.html) and then take a look at Eagle's "polar" coordinate system - that should easily generate an arc of 16 pins @ 21.5 degrees from each other, followed by a gap of 37.5 degrees. I've been meaning to change the soculator to use polar coordinates, but its a fairly recent Eagle addition and I didn't want to prejudice users of older versions...
