No rules against multiple protrusions so it is legal.

Read and reread the last paragraph of Section 1.4. If you can come up with a brilliant and unorthodox strategy that is not against the rules and requirements it is ok. The only risk you run is that if it a somewhat obvious "loophole" of the game intent, it may be closed in an update.
