the unused cell input pins of bq77908

Hi

I try to design battery protection circuit using bq77908. Currently, we use 7 or 8 cells for one battery package, but there is no connected wires for each cell' positive pole and the battery package only has BAT+ and BAT- wires. Could the all cell input pins (VC1-VC8) of bq77908 are tied together and pull up to BAT+ with a resistor? If OK, what vale of the resistor your suggest?
