Use the Catia "deselection" don't explode
Instead of exploding your pattern as suggested, use Catia's ability to deselect the holes in the complete pattern that you don't require.
When you are defining the pattern Catia shows in its preview each of the patterned objects i.e. in your case each new hole. For those that you do not require simply click the orange dot associated with that hole. This deselects the hole but leaves the pattern as a pattern that can be subsequently reworked or modified as required. If you require it later you can reclick the dot and it will be integrated back into the whole pattern.
