Not as it is. If you can find a two-gang intermediate switch then that would make it an easy job.

You can then ignore one of the terminals but you can't add an extra terminal to the switch you have bought.

Ok now? Is that better?
 
What MAY be confusing the op is the illogical way they often tend to label intermediate switches, because TO ME, it would make more sense if the top row was labelled L1 and L2, and the bottom row labelled L1 and L2 - to match the configuration of the 2-way switches.
But there you go.
