in theory, you can. in practice, you can't, because you'd have to know what stereo technique was used during recording, and have to do totally different things to derive your extra speaker feeds. as usual, when the signal is co-incident, i.e. blumlein, xy or pan-potted mono, getting a center feed is easy, just mix 'em.
trying that on AB recordings is a recipe for disaster.
