You can use the subs as stands, which effectively makes them the same as a three-way loudspeaker. But I wouldn't do that, for precisely the point you alluded to: Flanking subs. For them to work best, they must be a few feet away, in between the mains and the nearest boundaries. The best place to put flanking subs is beside, below and behind - offset in all three dimensions, between the mains and the wall behind them, between the mains and the floor, and between the mains and the nearest side wall.
If you put the mains directly on the subs, you're only offset in the vertical, but not in the fore-aft or the lateral horizontals. My suggestion is to put the mains on stands, and to put the subs in flanking positions, below, behind and beside the mains.
