Ken,
I'm sure you can. Under compiz -> settings-manager -> General Options
-> Desktop Size You can set as many horizontal sides as you want and as
many desktops as you want. I have also seen the option to have multiple
cubes as well.
For fun, while writing this response, I set horizontal virtual size to
6 and I ended up with a six-sided hexagon shaped cube. Really cool. See:
