From Liquipedia StarCraft Brood War Wiki

This list shows all unit sizes except for dummy and unused units in StarCraft:Brood War. Hero units have the same sizes as their non-hero counterparts, except for Infested Kerrigan (hero Infested Terran). Burrowed units have the same size as when they are unburrowed.

The negative gap means that add-ons occupy some additional space to the left, beyond its grid, in order to seal the gap between itself and the building. Land units cannot walk over that space; however, landing or constructing buildings to the left of the add-on is still allowed, otherwise add-ons would extremely limit what would be able to be built next to them afterwards if you ever moved it.
