Yes... and in the last paragraph of the linked blog entry, the author
explains

"If the goal is to decrease the payload, you can still create separate
packages but define your media entries so that 32- and 64-bit payloads
(each of IA64 and x64 if you'll be installing either) are in separate
cabinets. Read more about file sequences and media entries. You can then
put all the .msi packages in the same directory and put all of the
cabinets in that directory as well. This is actually how the .NET
Framework 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1 packages are laid out. Cabinets can be
shared between packages for common files, rather than having distinct
sets for each supported platform."

(complete with links to the actual details in the blog entry itself.)
