You can experiment, but your oboe may not give you good intonation on some of the alternate fingerings. I too have a Fox 333, and I stick with the fingering chart they gave me. When you get to the point in your oboe-playing career where you are playing pieces that require fast and slick movement on those very high and normally rarely used notes, you will own an oboe with the 3rd octave key that is built for that sort of work, that is capable of the alternate fingerings you'll need. I love my Fox, but it's an unapologetic student-intermediate oboe, no more. Those notes, for me, get used during scales practice, that's all.
