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 un-vassalized (except to the High Kingdom) hold form out of their lands. But doesn't Rorik IN Rorikstead say the town was named for him? If this is true then clearly Rorikstead hasn't been around since the First Era We've already been over this in previous comments Yeah, I realized that after I posted. Got ahead of myself.
