I would think so.  The actual chips are generally in a matrix
which is decoded with the /RAS, /CAS lines, with individual
8 bit slices of the 32 bit word having their own /CAS lines.

from the TM497MBK36A, TM497MBK36A 4194304 by 36-bit
data sheet:

DQ0-DQ7, Q8    /RAS0  /CAS0
DQ9-DQ16, Q17  /RAS0  /CAS1
DQ18-DQ25, Q26 /RAS2  /CAS2
DQ27-DQ34, Q35 /RAS2  /CAS3

(there are only two /RAS lines)
