Yes and no, but essentially no. This information is available in Summary, 
but not conveniently all in one place. You would need to gather up the 
numbers from the main Overview and the Behavior Overview of each 
sub-report. This is likely to be a very large amount of work, so 
essentially the answer is no you can't do that without an unreasonable 
level of complexity.

In theory this process could be automated with Excel, which is capable of 
fetching all the various Summary reports for you and pulling the correct 
numbers out, but it would be a major project to set that up and your 
Excel macros would need to be manually updated to track any changes to 
your sub-report configuration.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
