I'd suggest

   difference {
     merge {
       /* individual primitive objects comprising the basic shape */
     }
     union {
       /* individual primitive objects to be cut away */
     }
   }

or simply

   difference {
     merge {
       /* individual primitive objects comprising the basic shape */
     }
     /* individual primitive objects to be cut away */
   }
