(in standardized English) No, you can’t make them into a star with the semicolon in the center. Sentences are linear, so you can only connect two clauses at a time with one semicolon between them. However, you can chain clauses together, each time using a semicolon to join two independent clauses.

Except language changes over time, so if the star usage of the semicolon catches on and introduces nonlinear sentences, then have at it.
