Yes, that is the proper procedure.  I should point out however, that 
Phaser SAD phasing automatically completes the sites (finding more 
after HYSS) so it is likely that if you feed back in the sites from 
the previous run (ha_2,pdb_formatted.pdb or something like that) then 
you probably already have all the sites you are going to get!

Very nice idea...but no, there isn't a nice command like that!
All the best,
