Yesterday, I set up a Terran Tarmac doodad (which is a decal) to turn the terrain under it black, and a couple days ago, I made sidewalks using Hard Tiles (also called "roads" in the editor). So yes, you can do that--and the easiest way would probably be to swap out the textures for the Terran Tarmac models (or make additional variations like I did), and scale them as necessary. But keep in mind that the textures *will* squish when you scale them (whereas you can simply make smaller areas with normal terraining tools) and it would take additional variations to blend edges.
Edit: I originally attached my Terran Tarmac variation 10, along with its (blank) textures, but I forgot that I edited several aspects of it to make sure it was completely black. All you've got to do is load up the TerranTarmac_08 model in 3DS Max or a hex editor and change all instances of 08.dds to 09.dds and duplicate the textures, and you'll be in business.
