Not as a plural of a singular noun. Once it is plural, it is already a multiple.

However, group nouns that can use a singular verb form can be made plural to indicate more than one group or instance, such as family-families and staff-staffs.

ALSO, a few plural nouns have homonyms that are singular, and these can be made plural.

One example is people, which is a plural noun, but also has a singular meaning as "a race of individuals" which can be pluralized as peoples.
