I am a ArtCAM newbie, and have a simple question that is best explained with a couple screen shots.

Is there a way to make a tool path cover more territory without covering the entire model?

This is too much coverage:

This is not enough coverage:

I'd like to expand the coverage to fill in the interior features without spending a lot of time cutting air on the outside of the model.

Please help me!

If material has to be removed, you have to cover that area with the mill. If you only want to remove some of the surroundings and the pockets in the claw, you can draw another vector around the part you want to remove.
Say, you want about 10mm around the claw removed, you can offset the claw's contour by 10mm and use that vector to select the part you want to remove, rather than the material-outline..
It's just a matter of selecting the part you want to remove.
If it's getting to complicated, don't be afraid to generate 2 or more toolpaths for it.. Your computer and machine will not notice it..
