FastLed + WS2812b --> Define one in two leds as the actual strip

The problem is that I want to use different function and not modify all of them.
Isn't it possible to reassign the leds; create a virtual strip of led.
Make a kind of array with the correct number of leds with the association between the "virtual" strip and the real one :
led[0] = real_led[0]
led[1] = real_led[2]
...

Something like that ?

Thanks for your reply
