Sorry, no. If you share iCloud it is shared with all members of your Family Sharing. If any of them already have their own iCloud Storage plan they can keep their own plan if they want to. See the following from Can you share iCloud with just one family… - Apple Community


When you share iCloud+, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.


If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.
