I don't think you are using the terminology correctly. For a single request, only a single pipeline will be used, so there are no 'remaining' pipelines.
I suspect what you mean to ask if whether a component within a pipeline can remove events so that they are not passed to subsequent components within the pipeline. If so, the answer is yes. Just don't call the corresponding SAX method on the next component. acs-aem-commons/StylesheetInlinerTransformerFactory.java at master · Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-commons · GitHub is an example of such selective execution. When a <link> element is found inside the <head> element, it is effectively skipped until the the </head> element has been hit, at which point the stylesheet is inlined (before outputting </head>).
