Definitely. When I first started crawling I resoldered my stick packs in custom configurations. I have since gone all lipo, but using the sticks packs you currently own saves money.
Here an old picture of one:


I made other styles as well. Just make sure each cell is individually wrapped. Stick packs don't have each cell wrapped. Electrical tape is fine to wrap them in.
