Seriously?
 
YES! I have a very cool Automatic centrifugal shifting under acceleration- non kick back Sachs hub I would love to figure out if it could be put into a 36 hole rim... Again I am not a bike mechanic so I can't experiment.
Thanks!

So There!
"Where for a 28 hole rim,
θr = 360/28 = 12.857 degrees[...]"
I lost higher math 10+ years ago...
ok rainman stuff
 
Thinking about some of the higher math.
36 minus 28 equals 8 skipped; 8 skipped rim holes distributed over 36 >> spoke 7, then skip 2 (rim), and repeat x 3 (?).
Something to consider, do the spokes end up going to the otherwise correct 'left-right' holes.
Probably avoid the 4x cross-over pattern; not sure, but guessing the 28 spoke lengths could all be the same as each other.
For symmetry, one may choose to skip the 2 rim holes about the valve stem.
One approach might be to tape over the unused holes (36,1, 9,10, 18,19, 27,28) in advance and 'pretend' that they are not even there.

I BUILT A 36 HOLE HUB INTO A 28 HOLE 20 INCH RIM
AND I BUILT A 36 HOLE HUB IN A 24 HOLE 16 INCH RIM SEE MY PIC.
I WILL HAVE MY WHEEL BUILDER WORK ON A 28 HOLE HUB IN A 36 HOLE RIM.
THE END RESULT IS 8 EMPTY HOLES EQUALLY SPACED IN THE RIM.
AMEN!
