Yes, you're right, it's broken.  I'll fix it in the next release.

Yes, the new stations typically don't have layouts for all lengths and 
numbers of platforms.  That's just how the graphics are written and if a 
layout isn't defined, the patch can't offer it.  You can of course also 
build it 6x7 instead of 3x15, but for larger stations you need to choose 
a different set I'm afraid.
