You can layer some of the surround and back surround into the Left and Right mains, but always leave the Left, Center, and Right channels panned hard out to those loudspeakers (unless your main loudspeakers do not fully cover the listening area, then you may have to collapse the stereo imaging and fan out the center channel a bit to get proper coverage everywhere...)
