In this actual state no, because the doRequest method that you could
have called with the PATCH method is private. So, you won't be able to call
it directly, and you won't be able to inherit QgsBlockingNetworkRequest
to call it either.

I think one good solution is to use the request python framework (https://3.python-requests.org/)
