Yes you can create your menu like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">

<label>vendor</label>
</tab>
<section id="vendor" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="40" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<class>separator-top</class>
<label>Adding custom entries</label>
<tab>vendor</tab>
<resource>Vendor_Extension::config_extension</resource>
<group id="general" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="20" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
