Yes. You can even just top ONCE and then decide which side shoots to keep as they develop.
For plants that seem to have early vigorous side growth, those are the ones I pinch, and then when they go into flower I choose the strongest 4-6 stems to become the main colas, and remove other weaker side branches. You can then use those for clones!
