Converting 2 gang socket to 3 gang

If you have a 2 gang socket is it OK to use one of these to convert
it to a 3 gang if the socket is a spur?

The review posted on the same page suggests it contains a 13A fuse, so
if this is the case, then it's fine. It does however mean, you are only
able to draw 13A from all three sockets combined. So depending on what
you are plugging into it, this may or may not be an issue for you.

I can confirm that it has a little fuse "drawer" on the left end. Note
also that it fits slightly asymmetrically - with an overhang of around
45mm to the left and 25mm to the right. You also need to allow around
20mm to enable the fuse drawer to open and to be closeable.
One oddity - visible in the picture - is that the switches are to the
left of the socket they control. IME, most sockets have the switch to
the right.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
