Default Sure... why not???
drive the car up onto the front two ramps, then jack the back of the car up (one side at a time, or in the middle) and use the rear two ramps as jack stands. Of course you cant DRIVE the car up onto four rhinos at once... but it will SIT on all four.

Default Not that easy.
As you'd have to put the jack under the suspension arms so that you keep the wheels compressed, as most jacks won't jack a car high enough to slip a Rhino ramp under a fully un-compressed rear suspension/wheel.

Good point, but still do-able
