There's simply way too few controllable units in RTW to simulate Japanese formation in Sengoku jidai.
The boxes you see in those formations were most likely formed by 1 or several Sonaes(備).
Sonae is a independent tactical unit formed by 300-800 men lead by a Samrai Daisho.
Maybe we can say it has some similarity to Ancient Roman Cohort, but unlike Cohort each Sonae had units of Pike, Arquebus, Bow and spears(Ashigaru or Okachi) and supply train, and Sonae itself was like a small army.
Japanese army in Sengoku jidai was formed by multiple Sonaes, and a army of 10000 would have 15-30 Sonaes.
Since you would need at least 5 units in a Sonae, it would be impossible to accurately depict the formation of Sengoku jidai army.
The best we could do is probably to model the formation of Sonae.
This is a typical formation of a Sonae.

(Triangle is the missile Ashigaru, arrow is the pike/spear Ashigaru, circle is the banner-holder, blue rectangle is the samurai cavalry, 2 circle in centre is the Samurai Daisho, purple oval circle is the guards/probably Okachi, and the squares on the back is the supply baggage.)

If you want to see the whole army, this is the Byobu of the Tokugawa Ieyasu's in Sekigahara.
