As long as you can maintain the required visibility, separation from cloud & in sight of the surface I can't see why not.
Oz rules are similar w.r.t. VFR cloud separation. There, when the cloud amount is 'broken' is when it is considered "impractical". Note: Not impossible, but impractical so even then there is leeway.
NB: 3 to 4 oktas cloud is defined as 'scattered'. 5 to 7 oktas is 'broken'.
