Can multiple modules be displayed and offset the second by 4 items

Hi

I would like to display two modules on the homepage showing items from a single category, for example general news. In the first module I would like to display the most recent as featured and the next three below. In the second module I would like to display a list. As the first module shows the most recent four can the second, the list module, can that be offset by four. In other words display most recent without showing the same four in the first module.

Thanks,
