I  think stretching is not possible, but you can use PCB in "footprint
mode" to modify footprints. There is a description available somewhere.

Or create a new one, there are some tools available to support this.

Have you looked at

http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html

http://www.gedasymbols.org/

If you can not find it, you may post the dimensions, I will post the
footprint... (give: pad diameter, drill diameter, pad separation
center-center, datasheet uri if available, outer shape (diameter or
rectangular dimensions...)
