It is possible.

Using Custom partitioning UI, I suggest in order:

1. Create /boot/efi or BIOS Boot mount point (can be reused or reformatted)
2. Create /boot mount point (can be reused or reformatted)
3. Create / mount point (this is required to be a new subvolume)
4. Locate the home subvolume you want, the current UI it's pretty easy
to find if there are no snapshots; if there are many snapshots, you'll
have to look around for it.
5. Click on that subvolume, and on the right hand side at the top,
find Mount Point field; type in /home; click Update Settings button.
6. Click Done

This is a rough draft :) I'm going by memory.
