[Star Wars] The Sith rule of two, could there be multiple sets?

Could there be more than one master and apprentice somewhere in the universe they are just too secretive and don't know about each other?

The point of the rule of two is to guarantee that no Sith master would be defeated by a coalition of weaker foes, thus weakening the Sith as a whole. It is certainly possible that multiple pairs could exist, but this puts both Sith Masters in the awkward position of their apprentices having allies. More than likely the two Masters would kill their apprentices and establish a pair of their own.
