You can, but it all starts getting a bit messy with dongles placed in odd places. Likewise you could extend the antenna coax with an extension lead, tidier, but signal wise is a bad idea. I have a strong dislike of additional joints and would replace the whole antenna lead with one of the length I need, but only if it was really necessary to get the antenna in a better position. If you don't like the thought of putting an MCX connector on a RG174 cable buy an extension cable, cut one end off and attach to the antenna, after dismantling it.
There are other way to sort this out neatly, but it would depend on where you want to mount the antenna, and on what aircraft.
