Yes, that is the way I do it. Just put a moderate negative value, enough to uncover the pad of the solder paste and draw 2 solid regions on the solder paste layer.

Custom solder paste areas
Hello.
I need to make the footprint of a HVSON14 component. In the manufacturer recommendations, the solder paste areas under the thermal pad do not occupy the total area of this pad. This is an image of the footprint:
How could I make these two areas of solder paste under the thermal pad (the central pad)? Altium gives you the option to resize this area, but as a result, you can define only an area on the center of the pad, but not two small areas as I need. Should I put negative values on the dimensions of this area in the solder paste layer and then add two objets (rectangles) in this layer?
Thank you in advance!!
