I suggest brushing off the network synthesis skills, fit a rational function to the S-parameters, then construct your equivalent circuit from the poles, zeros and constants of the rational function. Obviously, the end-result will depend on how well you fit your rational function to the s-parameter data. Make sure the fit is passive, and enforce it if needed.
