    I want to extend the footprint pads beyond the edge of this non-castellated nRF5 module, so that I have a chance to hand rework any soldering issues. Is this bad practice? Will the solder mask on the module cause issues?

    Appreciate any feedback, thanks.

      @ncollins It will add a tiny bit more capacitance between the pads, but I doubt it will be enough to cause any issues. Especially compared to the track routing on the board which will have much more affect on operation.
