Anonymity and Privacy / Re: Tor project

Bumping topic.
As there are about 2800 relays in total (https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html), but only some are online at a given time,
...would it be theoretically possible for a malicious person or group to make enough relays to make it probable a circuit gets formed only on his/their relays + the original client + the endpoint (or narrowing the number of third party relays to a very small number e.g. 1) making the whole "anonymizing circuit" ineffective??
