Row units will be the same and, except for some possible difficulties finding space on the frame with drives, hinge, assist wheel mounts, etc., adding extra units should work. If you have enough tractor, you could eliminate the lift assist wheels and that will help.
Difficulties will come in use. With the row units so close together, there's little room for trash flow, so look out for stalks getting caught between. No room for servicing and/or filling the hoppers. These reasons are why so many of the narrow row planters used "pusher" units mounted in front of the bar.
Unless you use special, skinny tires on your tractor, at least two units will be running in the tire tracks, and that will effect emergence as well as wear on the openers and some fussing to get planting depth consistent.
