Fiber question - multimode fiber - Can i use 1 strand vs 2 strands?

Hi,

I have a 6 strand multimode fiber which was terminated & works great.

The 6 strands give me 3 'connections' but i am outgrowing those 3.

Would it be possible for me to use a single leg of the multimode as a single connection?

My thought is: Can I take 1 of the connections (2 strands) and use them as 2 connections assuming a slower speed?

Thank you - JD
