Modifier Meshes for perimeters

I'm trying to use modifier meshes to change the wall count, but PrusaSlicer isn't behaving how I'd hope. Instead of changing the settings for a portion of the object, it's as if it's calculating perimeters entirely separately for the two meshes.

In this case I'm trying to remove a portion of the wall so the infill is exposed, but it then generates a new perimeter at the boundary of the modifier mesh. I've previously tried to increase the wall count just for a small portion of the print, but again this leads to additional walls being produced between the two. The screenshots aren't the part I'm actually trying to print, just a basic model to show the problem

Is there any way to get the behaviour I'm actually after? Which I guess in this case is "calculate the perimeters as normal, then delete any within the modifier".
