Selecting non-contiguous regions in Godot tilemap editor for atlas creation

I'm trying to create an atlas of collideable objects in Godot's tilemap editor. My understanding is that, to select a region of tiles to make part of the atlas, you have to mouse select (I tried clicking a cell and holding Shift but it doesn't select multiple cells). The issue is that I can't seem select a non-square region.

I also tried selecting cells one at a time, adding the collision area, and then picking a new cell, and what I end up seeing is my range of cells shift over to the new area. Do I need to re-create my tilemap source to just have contiguous regions, or is there some Godot functionality I'm missing here? FWIW, I was following this tutorial to get up and running.

The region has to be a rectangle. You may want to break it up into multiple atlases plus a New Single Tile for the one at the top by itself.

Single Tile
Atlas 8x1
Atlas 2x1
Atlas 2x1

When you go to paint, selecting any of the atlases will show you the tiles inside.
