How does GRE retake work with new score reporting options?

I have done better than I thought on the verbal section (V 166 / 97%) but much worse than expected in the quantitative section (Q 160 / 84%) based on practice tests. I was wondering if I could retake to improve my quantitative score and just leave the verbal and essay sections empty? They only report the highest scores of all tests so it shouldn’t matter if I get 0 points on those sections, right? (Or for the sake of argument, say I click on a couple of boxes but chances are I will not get a 166 again …)

Thanks for your advice!
