MK62 new wifi6 mesh system, can a router unit (MR60) be configured to function as satellite(MS60)
The MK62 comes with a router (MR60) and a satellite (MS60). I'd like more than one satellite. Can I buy the satellite without the router now? If not can I buy another MK62 with an extra router (MR60)...

FWIW it sounds like I was in your same position. I decided to try it with two MK62 kits. I was able to attach both MS60 satellites to the same MR60 in a single mesh. I was *not* able to setup the second MR60 to act as a 3rd satellite. I logged onto this forum hoping someone had solved that problem.
The MR60s did make an immediate firmware update to 1.0.2.76
For the time being I have the other MR60 wired into the network acting as an access point broadcasting with the same SSID and password. Not optimal but it's getting me through the week.
Good luck.
