No but almost. The *algorithm* Rijndael designed by Rijmen and Daemen 
and submitted as an AES candidate supports various block and key sizes. 
But the *standard* AES allows only block 128 and key 128 192 or 256. 
Technically this is a profile of Rijndael, and most implementations 
(including OpenSSL) implement only the AES sizes, even when the 
same code could implement more flexible Rijndael sizes.
