Exactly so. Just clamp another 34-pin connector in the middle of your 34-pin
connector. The drive on the end of the 34-pin then becomes drive 2 or
drive "D". You must also change a jumper on the drives. On Seagates, as 
you look at the back of the drive, the jumper is located to the very left.
Drive 2 would be moved over one.
 
Also, the terminating resistor (bottom of drive) must be removed on the drive
in the middle (drive C).

Thinking about doing the same thing myself.
