No.

First, the multi interface does not wait (block) while establishing
connections, it uses non-blocking connections. It does however block while
doing name resolving, but even if libcurl would support pipelining, it would
still do this.

HTTP pipelining is when the client issues a request to the server while the
response from the previous request is still in transfer. This enables the
server to continue sending data at a high speed, without having to slow down
or wait for the subsequent request(s).
