No. In constructed you must exchange cards one for one. Only in limited is that restriction lifted.

6.2 Sideboard Use
Before each game begins, players must present their sideboard (face down) and, if requested, allow their opponents to count the number of cards in their sideboard. Players may look at their own sideboard during a game as long as the sideboard remains clearly distinguishable from other cards. The sideboard must be clearly identified and separated from all other cards in the play area.
Before the beginning of the second or subsequent game in a match, players may change the composition of their decks by exchanging cards from their deck for cards in their sideboard. Any card exchange between deck and sideboard must be made on a one-for-one basis to ensure that the sideboard remains at exactly fifteen cards. There are no restrictions on the number of cards a player may exchange this way. Players are not required to reveal how many cards they are sideboarding.
The deck and sideboard must each be returned to their original compositions before the first game of each match.
