No, sorry, I wish it were that simple. The LFE output can be used for distributed subs, but it can't be used for flanking subs.

Flanking subs need a low-passed version of the signal sent to the main speaker they're flanking. So you need to run the preamp level output to a plate amp or some other subwoofer amplifier with a built-in or external low-pass filter. Flanking subs work best with relatively gentle slopes like second-order, so an inexpensive 100Hz or 120Hz inline filter can be used to good effect.
