No, not without stretching the entire chart. This is one of the limitations
of pivot charts.

If it's embedded in a worksheet, just select it and drag the little black
handles. If it's a chart sheet, you can't. But you can create a regular
chart from the data. Select a cell away from the pivot table and start the
chart wizard. In step 2, switch to the series tab, and add the series one by
one (otherwise, Excel converts the chart to a pivot chart).
