You can have a sliding x within an anchor system, which is pretty standard. The majority of pieces will be equalized, and if a piece within the sliding-x fails, the anchor will extend.

Have you heard of the alpine equalizer? This is a 3-piece dynamically equalizing system which is extending. This would be a good bit of kit for Dribbles 3rd pitch belay... oh wait, forget about the bolts, just clip those.
