No, the whole point of a long haul hub is that it needs short haul feed to be viable, otherwise it's not a hub at all, and the question we need to address is hub connectivity which is related to but not the same thing as runway caapcity.
Hub capacity can realistically only be grown from LHR or a new hub airport with the forced closure of LHR to make that viable.
