I would say probably not as they say the modules are replaceable. To me that says each one is a single circular MCPCB holding the emitters and I think it would be very difficult and costly to have those made angled or contoured rather than flat.
I suspect they are just clustering as many LEDS together as possible to increase the output in the assumption that the lack of optics will provide enough spread. In the end it may well work for many people as most probably have their SPS in the back and center part of the tank anyhow and the front is usually free of corals or has lower light corals further down. So perhaps they figured it will work for a good proportion of tanks. But its not how I would want to do it. I have the same size array using nearly 40% fewer LEDS and electricity with a much more even spread of light.
