Multiple states per time in HMM?

Hello!

I was wondering what it would take to augment the current hmm algorithm so that it can also track multiple states. For instance, say I wanted a feature set included and a label for classification.

We already have a transitional matrix, but what if I wanted to add a pair (or more) of states. Would their have to be a new matrix, or could I just train the hmm with single states and paired values?

Thank you!
