Is it possible to change the linkage of Nether portals?

Question

I have 3 portals that link together, but I want to remove at least the middle one.

Edit for clarification:

The portals I created are 1, 4 and 5, the others were spawned by the game as the "other end". I want to remove the link between 5 and 4 and create a link between 5 and (the yet non-existent) 6.

The goal is to be able to travel to 5 in the route: 1, 2, 6, 5. I don't really need 3 and 4 now.

Answer

So here is how I solved it:

• I deleted both 3 and 4

• I placed the player to 5 and entered the portal in-game

• This spawned a new portal (6) in the Nether because there was no portal in range to link to.

I used MCEdit because I think this is a defect in the game, but if you are not lazy like me or want to play without cheating, you can travel in the Nether from 2 and destroy 4, go back via 2, then travel to 3 in the overworld and destroy it there, then travel to 5 and enter (the numbers here correspond to the picture I added in the post).
