Or does the complementary rule only apply to two angles?

Supplementary and complementary refer to only a pair(two) of angles.

Strictly sticking to traditional definitions, supplementary and complementary only refers to two angles. So if you want to go by that, the answer would be no.
However, the concept of it can still be applied to more than 2 angles, but I don't think there are any terms for 3 or more angles that add up to 180 degrees (like with supplementary) or 90 degrees (complementary).

Be definition, supplementary angles are formed by only two angles.

Three angles can sum up to 180 degrees.

it depends on which geometry the angles depend on
if they are in triangle
they are completely supplementary with 180'
other condition of geometry apply!
like three dimension!

technically supplementary refers to 2 angles.
so no, they cannot be supplementary to eachother
but if you do not consider the rule, it is true, however there is no term to define it yet.

only if the two lines are parallel

They will add up to 180 (inners),
Yahoo messes up the pic
3 angles in a triangle are supplementary cause they add up to 180 degrees
