I'd hazard a guess at 'probably ', and more so if it only contains a single pair: obviously the risk is if the master socket is located past the one being removed and the wiring to the master gets disrupted. You also wouldn't want the redundant pair to risk generating a short circuit by doing something like twisting them together.
