Create a library for yourself and use the package editor to place a pad
of any shape and size. You could start by copying the "solpad.lbr"
library and modifying to what you need.
Here is a pretty good tutorial on how to make a library with custom parts:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-custom-library-part-in-Eagle-CAD-too/?ALLSTEPS
Making custom parts is really very easy once you get the hang of it.
The main thing to remember is that a component is made up of three thigs:
1.) device
2.) package
3.) symbol
The device is the top level that contains the package and the symbol.
With your new library open, you can use the Eagle control panel to copy
a package or device to your new library by simply right clicking and
selecting "copy to library". Now that it's in your custom library, you
can edit, rename, etc. without affecting the library you copied it from.
There is more to it but I suggest you read through the Eagle Tutorial
and watch the tutorials on You Tube. That's how I learned it. Good luck
