Ken?

I would not think so as that would really lose compression in the 
combustion chamber. According to Rotary Engine by Kenichi Yamamoto
There is a pressure change in this area of the housing that would
cause a bigger leak from one chamber to the next. The trailing spark plug
holes must be kept small for this reason.
