yes, that's one way to solve it.
my advice though is to learn how to enter coordinates like this in 
hexadecimal form, i can help you out in i.e. figuring out someone elses
code.

ld hl, 20*256+28
would then become
ld hl, $141C

--Peter-Martijn
P.S.
Always use 
$xxxx or xxxxh
when entering hex codes
