From a legal point of view, yes. Doesn't mean it's smart, however. There are
lots of older planes with one seatbelt that extends across a bench seat.
While this FAA opinion clearly is meant to apply to those, it does not ONLY
apply to those. IMO, given the FAA's history, it'll take a crash in which a
shared seatbelt causes significant injury for the regs to get more specific
on it.

So what this is saying is that the number of seats in a airplane does in
no way limit the number of passengers the airplane can carry.
