Yes but the further an LNBF is from the focal point, the lower the signal. It's usually advised to put the Ku at prime focus and the C-band offset. Ideally you could cut the scalar ring to keep the offset distance small - see attached pic.

If it is an open mesh dish for C band the holes may be too big for Ku Band to work.

The other way round (C on a Ku dish) is no problem.
