Hi Victor,
I do not know whether there is anything on this in any of the documents, most likely not, since, it is not really important. There is an allowed overhang—so that may be the answer
Solder joint strength has never been an issue for properly wetted SJs; for gullwing leads with a foot length of 3-times the lead width the heel fillet is all-important. For shorter 
lead foot length, the toe fillet becomes also important because short feet 'rock.'

Subject: [TN] LF, 1:1 ratio of PWB copper pad to lead width dimension










Fellow TechNetters:

   What is IPC position on the width ratio between the PWB external
copper pad and width of gull wing lead for LF application.  I have seen
minimal side and vertical solder wetting and feel that this is
inadequate interface as the mating strength occurs between the fat
surface only peel strength.

Victor,
