Of course.

Just so people can visualize what I mean, this is roughly an approximate of what I mean in terms of fitting the same number of cells in the about the same length, but in tripack tubes.
The greater beam/width of 09V means two columns of the tripack tubes can be co-located adjacent to one another in the style of Yasen or most SSBNs.

(Exact proportions of the submarines are of course simplified, but it is the VLS bank size relative to one another which is more important)

What would be the advantage of using a cylindrical VLS setup as opposed to rectangular? I'm curious in a general sense, not specific to 09V.
