Typically you can - if you are willing to loose a great deal of "space".
Typically RLL drives were 26 SPT and MFM drives were 17 SPT. The electical
interface is the same - the controllers are very different - but in a pinch
using an RLL drive with an MFM controller should work O.K.

Subject: RLL vs. MFM
A friend wants to know if he can use an ST238R RLL
drive with am MFM
controller. It has been to long for me to remember the answer to
that question, so I'll let the knowing people of this list enter
your votes.
