As far as I know, your best option will be to stack three separate weld symbols, change the pointer end type for the top two (first screenshot), and align the leaders manually.

That was going to be my dirty way to do it. I was hoping for an easy way to create a custom symbol.

The good news is: Once you have the first one set up you can Group the symbols. That will allow you to copy and paste so you don't have to set them up multiple times.

So, putting my welding hat on, would it make more sense to call out a specific weld procedure, which accurately defined these processes instead of this nomenclature?
I ask as I've never seen a multi-pass weld symbol on a drawing.
