   It is not possible. The compact form does not have sufficient information for that to be possible.
   
   But you can union a CompactSketch with any other theta sketch, with no accuracy loss versus creating it all via a single sketch, so you can use that approach to add additional items to a compact sketch. But it cannot be done directly.
