First time the “Doctors dangle” was done by Rossi in Jerez 2005. Last lap, last corner overtake on Sete Gibernau. He didn’t start using it regulary right away, only occasionally. So to answer your question, it had been used before but not much.
He kind of did it in Jerez in 2005 in the last corner last lap while making a lunge on Gibernau
I think Rossi had done it even before 2007 Catalunya. Because of his height and long legs and Motocross training Rossi was more prone to leg dangling and it then became a habit.
Edit: Here before overtaking Sete Rossi does that https://youtu.be/B4-AZuikiqo
I think he started doing it more regularly after breaking his leg
