@User that layout is not very optimized... It's missing some diffusion merging... Is that just a relative placement? The tx sizes seem odd relative to m1 size.

@Matthew Guthaus which layout are you referring to? Please explain.

The DFF that mithro posted. There's an inverter on the left and right that could be flipped and the diffusions merged to make the cell narrower. This is just from a quick look.
The inverter in the middle as well can have the NMOS flipped to reduce the output route length and then the diffusion merged with the vdd/gnd to the left.
