I haven't seen any footprint like what is shown.  I've done similar
footprints for handling multiple wire sizes although all of the
connected pads are round and through hole so it should be doable
although I've never tried mixing SMT and through hole pads to create a
complex pad.  Thanks for the link.  There is a lot of good information
there.  Although, I doubt I will ever have to worry about a couple of pF
of bypass inductance in any of my designs.
