To use the L template, you would have to come up with the desired
config in pdb (all residues).

If you make one residue in pdb, you could use it to define
an alternate template file (see tutorials for adding a new
residue type, noting that atom types and charges could come
from the TYR template), load that, then use sequence
in leap to make a strand. If you load the general residue
templates, I would avoid a name collision by using a different
residue name in this case.

So whatever is easier.
