You generally should move elsewhere with such kind of questions.

I don’t understand why you left so huge amount of unused space between footprints if you want the PCB to be smaller. For me the courtyard rectangle is the space I should left for each footprint and just out of this rectangle I can use space for anything else. I am positioning footprints very close one to the other. In many cases with their courtyard rectangles touching.

I’m trying to stick to that but as Kicad is not allowing me to have 1 symbol mapped to 2 footprints, You don’t understand. If your element has two connectors but not at cables but at its PCB then they both are ‘one insertion’ so one footprint. I started to assemble SMD myself around 1992 and till now I don’t have microscope. When I started to have to use glasses for reading I have bought a workshop lamp with magnifying glass. I have no space at desk for station so I use: Not needed. I…

Consider using 0805 or even 0603 LEDs.
