I wouldn't think so. Those mini-albums cost a lot more than a single, and after the crap of having nothing unique to the mini-albums except for a few remixes, I'm sure fans won't fall for buying them again on the expectation that everything will be on the album two months later.

And if loses her streak would actually help I think, she would release singles without having to worry about that.

I think this is where her sales really fell hard and we started seeing things like (miss)understood selling 900,000 copies then Secret only selling 600,000 then GUILTY barely cracking 580,000 then NEXT LEVEL topping out at 350,000, RnRC coming in at 300,000, Ls coming in at 270,000. It sucks, but what really started hurting her sales was only having one or two singles every year. If you look at the drops, her biggest percentage drops started around the time she reduced the number of singles she was releasing every year. And now... from Ls with 3 singles and 270,000 in sales to PQ with no singles and 145,000 in sales, to La with no singles and only ~90,000 in sales. Those are HUGE drops that correlate with little promotion. So, I hope she gets back on track and really enjoys releasing new music again, because she seems to be falling backwards and getting bored with being a musician.
