Unfortunately not. PCB derives the solder mask from the pad and mask clearance. The file format needs to be extended to allow for the type of mask you would like. I think you might be misinterpreting the diagram though. They are indicating that there should be a > 18mm^2 copper plane around the pad which must have solder resist (mask) on it. So set the relevant pads' mask clearance to 0, and place a polygon down around the pad. Remove the clear lines/pads flag by putting your cursor over the polygon and pressing "s" in PCB. Just note that no lines or pads will be cleared by that polygon. What I usually do is make a small polygon/rectangle that fits just around the pad and set that to "solid", and then use a normal polygon around that.
