When I made boards for your RAD instrument with complicated round
shapes, I used gnumeric to compute the coordinates of all the arcs and
vias, formatted the gnumeric page in PCB syntax, then cut'n'paste into
the layout file.

Btw, that layout file does not open properly in recent versions of
PCB.  The ground planes do not show up, and I get

Error while clipping PBO_SUB: 3

I was using:

This is PCB, an interactive
printed circuit board editor

The flight model will be delivered to NASA later this year.
