Questions

How big is the Expander gate output PCB?

It measures 140 × 128.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Expander gate output use?

116 parts, built around the TXS0108EPW and BAT43. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Expander gate output KiCad files?

From the doctea/usb_midi_clocker_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is expander_gate_output/expander_gate_output.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Expander gate output design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask doctea before reusing the design.
