It's possible, but as far as I know has never been done. Actually,
there is no limit on the number of coils that you can add, extending
the idea of the magnifier. It's always possible to design the system
in an optimal way, with many different structures, and note that 
transformers are not required.
If you want to see some theory about this, take a look at my paper
"Synthesis of Multiple Resonance Networks" (IEEE ISCAS, Geneva, May
2000).

I will make a small one as soon as I find time.
