Sure - that's what I like about doing it that way - each row is a movie clip, so you can size each row however you like - the next row's position is based on the previous row's _y + _height - so they are positioned correctly.
May not be the best solution as far as processor requirements, but it does the job and offers more flexibility in my opinion.
