Yeah sure. Heavy single + 1-2 sets of 2-3 reps @ 90% of that single would work fine. This would really work well if you wanted to alternate lifts around. For instance if on your TM intensity day you set up a 4 week cycle of:

Deadlift
Rack Pull
Deficit Deadlift
Deads w/ Bands

Sounds good. Though also sounds kind of stressful for the deadlift though, that deadlift day with the singles took a bit more out of me than a 5-rep top set normally does, though I suppose without the 80% set it shouldn't be much harder to recover from.

With Deads, I'd do one top single and only 1 set @ 90% of 2-3 reps
