But apparently it gives bad aliasing. In general for line skipping to work, the rule is to consecutively skip multiples of 2 lines. You can then keep any amount of lines.
To answer my own question: Forget that.
I just understood that it is impossible because of the sensors's bayer pattern. It would result in a monochrome picture. The only usefull skipping values are 3 or 1 (No skipping). Looks like there is no way to increase the 1X mode resolution of any Canon DSLR. The only way I can imagine would be to combine 4 pixel to one cluster and skip clusters instead of pixels. But I doubt that this is possible and it might affect the image quality. Time to stop dreaming and be happy with what we have I guess
