That would be far too much like nature does. It often creates a mosaic of different habitat patches, through disturbance and grazing, which is somewhat spatially random. But you’ve got to consider the spatial scale.

A farmer has a patch, does well out of it and then clears a little bit more land/forest/brigalow adjacent to the farm. It still goes on today, I’m sure I’ve read about it.
