Well, yes that is one way of doing it, but it depends what you want to achieve? If you really want a subpage that will not show in your nav bar at all, then I would suggest that you go to inspector and page and turn off the navigation bar altogether. That way, you can create your own navigation bar and include exactly what you want and what you don't want.
You can then create sub pages that don't even have to be included in the navigation bar and can be linked straight to the page. I have done that with one of my web sites and it is very effective.
