Technically, yes. But if you do it, you will have some reconstructing to do. You'll need to strip the cut off side rail of veneer, remove the honeycomb cardboard core at the keeper cut edge, and glue in the stripped rail into its new position, clamping along its length. If you just need to take a little off lengthwise, you probably could take up to 1/2" safely off of each side without the above reconstruction technique.

To cut wood at an angle lengthwise effectively, use a miter saw or table saw with a bevel function. Set the saw blade to the desired angle, secure the wood firmly in place, and make the cut slowly and steadily to ensure accuracy and safety.
To cut laminate flooring lengthwise, use a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade. Measure and mark the cut line on the laminate plank, then carefully guide the saw along the line to make a straight cut. Be sure to wear safety goggles and follow all manufacturer instructions for cutting laminate flooring.
To cut a potato into wedges, first wash and peel the potato. Then, cut the potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into quarters. Finally, cut each quarter into wedges by slicing diagonally.
