He isn't referring to ESO;

Regarding the question;

No, according to the Holdings of Jarl Gjalund, Rorikstead has been part of Whiterun since, at latest, the very early First Era, so it most likely won't be a new hold if it has already been part of Whiterun for this long.

Also it simply does not work the way you say it does. In feudalism land=power, no Jarl would willingly let a new hold form out of their lands.
