Yes but with an indentation and comment to describe the section end.

eg.

#ifdef A
#else
# ifdef B
...
# else
# endif /* B */
#endif /* A */

Or

#ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK
...
#elif defined CONFIG_PARAVIRT
...
#else /* !CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK && !CONFIG_PARAVIRT */
...
#endif /* CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK */
