Found this. May be something on the order of what you had in mind for the return:

As far as the overflow is concerned just dirll the back of the tank where you want it.
 
Sounds like a conventional black center acrylic overflow. Probably two two or more holes through the bottom of the tank. The largest is for the drain (overflow). The other one or more are for the return. These can be fitted with "Y" fittings and flex line with nozzels. Depending on how it's plummed, you could have miltipleflex lines at just about any height.

My guess would be that it's a custom installation and not a stock configuration. Sorry that I can't be of more help.
 
I think what you are thinking of is a standard overflow. the only difference is that it is an island overflow meaing it is in the center of the tank. These can be set up what ever way you like since it will be a custom tank. I think a good set up would be 1 2" drain and 2 1 or 1 1/2" returns that could branched off in multiple returns comming out of the overflow.
