You could , but the secondary would be a big circular flat mirror with a diameter at least 1/2 that of the main mirror, so the performance of the telescope would be pretty bad compared with other newtonians and cassegrains of the same size.

Take a look at the Parks site (they produce dual fast newtonian/cassegrain telescopes), you can get optical sets of them too.

and
