An odd number of half notes cannot be replaced by a whole note, unless the half notes are part of a triplet. There are 2 half notes in a whole note, and 4 in 2 whole notes. Three half notes can be represented by 1 whole note and 1 half note.

This is only true if the half notes are slurred together in the first place.
