Inner ring on rotating wheel space station?

Could Space Station V, from 2001: A Space Odyssey have an inner ring? Would the inner ring have a different G-force if the inner ring was halfway between the outer ring and the hub. Would there be any limitations on this because of stresses on the structure.
