I'd use the PCB GUI:

1) Set the grid to a multiple of the distance of the fingers. 
2) Draw track segment with appropriate width on the first layer
3) copy-paste to yield a row of tracks
4) copy the whole row to buffer
5) paste the row somewhere.
6) select the second layer
7) do [m] on all segments of the second row to move them to the
    second layer
8) move the second row to the same place as the first row
9) Go over all segments with [n] and enter the correct pad number
10) draw the silk
11) copy everything to paste buffer
12) do convert_to_element
13) paste the component somewhere
14) go over all pads with [q] to make them square
15) save
16) run my convenience script set_pinnumber.awk to set the pin numbers
to the same value as the pin names.
17) copy component to buffer
18) save_buffer_as from the buffer menu 
19) upload to gedasymbols.org

Sounds like a lot of work. But it is straight forward.
