Can you provide some reference to DOC8168 or TERPS that shows a turn area constructed for a "long way round" turn?
In this hypothetical there is a holding pattern we are parked in and there is a straight initial approach segment. The holding pattern at this location mandates right turns, which may seem to be the long way around if viewed as a "turn area" rather than a holding pattern.

Another aspect is that the charting makes the pattern appear to not overlap the initial approach segment. If you construct either the TERPs or the PANS-OPs containment areas for both the holding pattern and the R-254 initial approach segment, you will see that the holding pattern containment area extends well beyond the centerline of the TGO 254 radial.

I'll construct both the pattern and the initial segment using TERPs and post it. PANS-OPS would have some differences but they would not be significant.
