Can multicycle path be pipelined to achieve single cycle throughput in DC?

I have a chunk of combo logic (synthesizable netlist) where the shortest path is 1 ns and longest path is 7 ns.
My clock is 5 ns but I need single cycle throughput. If I were to pump input every clk and capture 2 cycles later at every cycle, the shortest path will
have a problem, and longest path may have problem in best corner.
Is DC able to take care of the shortest path here?
 

To my understanding, DC can't insert DFF for pipeline purpose. This will also causing LEC problem.
I think you have to insert DFF to do the pipeline by yourself.
