Brief Answer:
Yes you can do that.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Yes you can disregard the last six pills of this pack and take a break of seven days to have a withdrawal bleeding. You will have to start with a new pack after the seven days and disregard these left over six pills. This will bring your periods earlier and will keep you protected against pregnancy also.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
