Your symbol has 5 or 8 pins?  The one big pad has what pin number?

I'd do a footprint/symbol with 8 pins, connect them on the schematic,
and draw poly across the connected pins on the layout.  I don't know if
the poly clearance can be reduced to zero, of if you need to draw
thermals to the poly, or a fat line, depending what you need.
