footprint

I have a footprint that I would like two different sized connectors attached to the same pin out. How can I add traces between the two parallel hole rows. Must I make some type of separate schematic & PCB layout then import it in order to have connected holes?

KiCad discourages creating such traces, by disabling the option, and putting a warning message to say it is "very dangerous". So things might go very wrong later.

If I understand you correctly, you have the pads close enough that they overlap. If it is right, I would not be able to do this because one of the connectors I need to use has an external shell requiring some space.
