You can do it with slice assignment too:
a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
a[1:3] = [[7, 8]]
a
[1, [7, 8], 4]
Now, which way is better? The answer depends on context.
If, conceptually, you are removing two elements from a list, then
adding a new element which is itself a list, then doing it with
remove
and insert is probably best.
Even in that case I'd replace themultiple removes with a slice:
L = [1,2,3,4]
L[1:3] = []
L.insert(1,[7,8])
L
[1, [7, 8], 4]
