As has been said, of course it's possible. It's not practical, but doable. And good practice.
I have 1.5x10cm coticule and I thoroughly enjoy using it, I have used it many times for full honings with no real issues. You get used to the size.Geezer likes this.

Slurry stones can be very useful in honing warped blades. Reaching the toe and heel separately but I have never used JUST a slurry stone for honing. Just in conjunction with a full hone.

Sure. Most slurry stones are sort of square and consequently what Richard says about grit under the stone holds true. But I have honed on stones as small as 1"x4", a stone I also use as a slurry stone. Some shapes you'll be limited to mostly circles/ellipses in order to get the that grit under the. edge.
