Unfortunately not. In general we have two different kind of subapps typed and untyped. Untyped you can created directly in your application. You can define the pins of a subapp in its property sheet. if you double click on such a subapp you go inside and can program the network there. If you have part of a network you can mark the blocks that should go into the subapp and create a subapp based on these blocks. The blocks will then be inside of the subapp, for any connections to blocks outside of the subapp according pins will be created.

Typed subapps are a bit like composite FBs. The difference of both typed and untyped subapps is that you don't need to generate c++ code for them. During deployment they will be flattened and only the inside will be deployed.

You can have subapps inside of subapps if you need more structuring.

I hop this helps to get you started.
