The SIDs that don't contain RID are the special cases of Machine SID, Domain SID, Service SID, and some predefined universal well-known SIDs [1]. According to the common use in MS tools SID encompasses RID. And even in Samba (wbinfo immediately comes to mind) SID also encompasses RID. More generally, the definition of SID is a unique identifier for a security principal, and to match that definition one security principal within a domain (or a local machine) has to be distinguished from another security principal within the same domain or machine, which is achieved through the RID part of the SID. So, RID is just a (sometimes optional, but in those contexts "SID+RID" also doesn't make any sense) part of SID, not a separate and independent piece.

I doubt very much that your Windows RID is '1562224688', well not unless 
you have an extremely large domain, it is more likely to be '4688'

If you want your Unix ID to be exactly the same as your Windows RID, you 
could use the winbind 'rid' backend and use lines similar to these:

idmap config DOMAIN : backend = rid

idmap config DOMAIN : range = 0-a_number_larger than the largest_RID_in_AD

With that getent would return something like this:

pgoetz:*:4688:513:Goetz Patrick G

However, I wouldn't recommended that range, you couldn't have any local users.
