Exactly he can try it knowing it not perfect. He may also find it looks radial even if its not strictly 0x. For the cost of a novatec a171 hub it might be worth a try. Of course royce do 16h drillings solving the problem.
Typing 16h hub into ebay gets results. There is some bloke with 16h dura ace hubs. I thinkmi sold them to him a couple of years back.

If you're lacing "radial", there won't be any difference in spoke length, but the spokes won't be truly radial, one side will be pulling and the other side will be pushing, which means the hub shell will have a permanent torsional stress in it. Like many bodges, it probably won't kill you, but if you have any sense of mechanical beauty it will annoy you :)
