Not quite.

As you say, the Surface:HeatTransfer models the wall.  To be
expedient, use a construction with just an R value.

Then, you put in the Window with the Surface:HeatTransfer:Sub and put in
almost the same coordinates as the wall but leave just a very small
amount that will be the wall.

Then, you can add frames or dividers if you have them.
