Steve, Yes you can. This base uses 1 RF PA to drive 2 RF PA's. There is a splitter and combiner before the 2 PA's and after. You can remove the splitter and combiner but you will need to turn down the 1st PA. It is not hard to do but you would be best to run the as is, just lower the drive a little and have about 200 watts out. They will run cool, last a long time, and give you less trouble in the long run.
I have one here, and it runs 150 watts and does not even get warm. I also have one that was modified and it runs 125 watts. It does get a little warm but not bad. I have fans on them to help keep them cool.
