I think it's certainly possible to do that, but having two different focuses on episodes can cause dissent as people favour certain types of episodes over others, even if they work together to help explore the world in question.
SU is a good example of this, given there's 'townie episodes' which move away from the main focus of the show, in the form of the gems and exploring their world and interactions with the main character, and looks to build up the world by giving more attention to the secondary and tertiary cast. It's an incredibly difficult thing to do, partcularly when you have a mix of more action, drama or lore based episodes with that main cast which is primarily the draw of the show. But I think it can be done, especially if the creator truly believes in pursuing it as Daron seems to want to.
Ideally, if she's to pull that sort of focus shift off, she needs to cut down on the fluff and exposition in those episodes and either jump right in to the focus of the episode and let it unfold naturally or she needs to use pre-established setup from prio episodes to, again, speed up the setup of the episode. Developing secondary characters, plots and main cast development is a good way to go about that, which is something I believe the show has done with Marco and Star. Now it just needs to develop some secondary characters and build up some viable plots to have that main character focused wacky adventures.
