No.

Then that MIB is not valid.
An SMI table *MUST* include an xxxEntry definition.
If nothing else, this is where the indexing of the table
is defined.

Apart from the table index.

The definition of the table is invalid, so needs to be fixed.
You can't implement it until this is done.

If you want ammunition to support this, try running the
MIB though a validity checker. (e.g. smilint or the web
interface http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/tools/)

If your MIB designer doesn't understand MIB tables, it's
quite possible that they've got other things wrong too.
