The IPC placement courtyard is measured in their "grid elements" which are 0.5 x 0.5mm So their SOT23 isn't 8 x 8 mm, only 4 x 4mm. Thanks to you and everybody else who has responded to my original query. I feel less reluctant about using the Philips footprints now. I have also ordered the latest amendment to IPC782 this morning - it apparently has revised (smaller) footprint recommendations.
