Erik,

	Yes, an iBGP session is possible between A & C. Route Reflectors
main purpose was to reduce the iBGP full mesh requirement, thus
providing for BGP scalability. If you only have 3 BGP speakers then
there is no need, unless you are expecting BGP speaker growth. I
would address the lack of redundancy for your BGP sessions.
