Brad I think FrogGod is right.
Look at #5:
>>5.Representation of Authority to Contribute: If You are contributing
>>original material as Open Game Content, You represent that Your
>>Contributions are Your original creation and/or You have sufficient
>>rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
And # 8:
>>If you distribute Open Game Content You must clearly indicate
>>which portions of the work that you are distributing are Open Game Content
Both clearly state "If". Neither is there any text anywhere in the
license agreement specifying that you must add or create additional
open content, nor that your added content must become open.
Indeed, the definition of PI is only there for #7, which stops people
from claiming compatibility (the "no coat-tails" clause).

No, you can't. There is no provision in the license for "closed" material
other than PI. If it isn't PI, it has to be OGC.
