We all wish that were possible, but no. 3-4-5-6 is a run of four.
pobability of arrangement
pobability of arrangement runs is much higher than arrangementof three cards of the same rank
so it would be injustice if the run of 3 gave 8 rather than 3 points
same thing is about why the flush is only count when is in the crib or hand
it is much easier to make flush than runs in play
