Is this the first time we've had hex+pentagon layout?

It is, yes - I only added it this week (after way too long rewriting the code that generates the patterns). There aren't currently any plans for more, but you never know!

I thought it was interesting to try to find the names of the now 9 tiling types. My results...
- Cairo pentagonal
- Hirschhorn  <-- "spiral"
- laves (deltoidal trihexagonal)  <-- "kites"
- rhombille
- snub square
- honeycomb
- honeycomb variation with extra horizontal lines (also a variation of prismatic pentagonal tiling)
- floret pentagonal
- floret pentagonal variation

I suppose the square tiling brings the count to 10?
