Not unless you want to blow the meter up.

I think you need to be a little more concise here.

Your lighting and RFC is single phase, do you actually need 3 phases into this split unit?

If no then just fit a wyefield distribution board at origin of the installation with your 3 phases, after the original 3 phase meter at the head, and then run a single phase supply to a single phase meter.

If you do need 3 phases to the unit, then run your L1 L2 L3 and Neutral to a 3 phase meter a connect L1 in L1 L2 in L2 etc etc
