That is actually what we do 99% of the time - even with the 5". In the picture above you can see E33 in the background. They supplied E34 by hooking their 5" to them (left side) and then driving and connecting to the next hydrant and pumping the supply line back to E34.
As I understand it, 34 was dropping their wyed lines at that fire and was getting ready to go to the plug when 33 arrived on scene, so they let them lay the supply.
E34 was also supplying a 5" line (right side) to T16.
E50 also dropped their wyed lines at this fire and got the next plug going the other way.
