Certainly it's possible. Michael Moorcock is one I know of (the following taken from
Wikipedia):

Most of Moorcock's earlier work consisted of short stories and relatively brief novels: he has mentioned that "I could write 15,000 words a day and gave myself three days a volume. That's how, for instance, the Hawkmoon books were written."

Some of his novels are very good. Some I don't like much (they seem as rushed as the above sounds).
My guess is that it's probably only viable for an experienced writer, and only for books with a fairly narrow set of objectives (thriller/action pieces). And working within an already created framework (subsequent books a series etc.) would obviously help a lot.
