No. Sorry. I misread the question. I thought you were asking about multiple
frames. There can theoretically be multiple frames. There can only be one
token. If a station releases the token early another station can grab it,
send a frame, and release a token. But that's still just one token.
I must have been token when I wrote the response! ;-)
The point I really wanted to make is that in the real world, early token
release doesn't happen. A token ring network would have to be really big
for there to be a situation where a station was not receiving the first of
its own bits while sending the last of its bits. In most cases, a station
doesn't get a chance to release a token early.
