Component with multiple pads/same connection.

I was recently asked how to make a component footprint for the inductor here and this applies to any component with a similar component footprint.

It is an inductor where the datasheet asks for 2 long pads but with only the ends of the pads being exposed for soldering to.
The question was - How to do this ?
