Of course. There are two ways to do an even-table Mitchell: a relay or a skip round. If you forget to set up the relay, you simply call for a skip at the appropriate time.
It probably means you'll play fewer boards than intended. The relay movement is usually used when the game is small and this is the way to get up to 24 boards.

Or you have a revenge round.

Of course, if you realise during the first round and you have 8 or 12 tables, you can play a Double-Weave.

I don't know if this is the same "problem" as described in a Norwegian guide for Directors (1973), but here goes:
Mitchell with an even number of tables:

Should you happen to have forgotten the extra "blind" table required between the two tables in the middle of the row of tables then do not despair. When players start complaining that they have played these boards before then just ask all the EW pairs to make an extra move while all boards remain at their present tables.

If the solution was this simple it would not have taken Jim 5.5 hours, trust me.
Anyway, the movement if I remember rightly was an 7 table hesitation Mitchell.

While very interesting the idea was not to play the same pair on consecutive rounds so as to have two short sitouts not one long one.
