Don't put inductors between ground planes, connect them at a star
point. If you are going to use inductors then have them on the power
side, not between grounds.

Is there a good way to do this with PCB? It would be relatively easy
if planes could be handled as negatives, i.e. everything you see is
NOT there. Then it is just a matter of moving a line.
