More than two air tanks?

We've been in FIRST for two years, so we have four pneumatic accumulator tanks -- one set from this year and one set from last year. In the rules, it says that "there is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, air cylinders, and connecting fittings you may use on your robot," but it also says that "the pneumatic system uses compressed air from a 12V DC powered compressor that discharges into two air storage tanks." Are we allowed to use more than two tanks on our robot? I don't think there would be a safety concern, since all the pressures in the system would remain the same.
