I had a thought today, though I am pretty sure you cannot do this by raw. if you have someone grappled when you succeed on your maintain can you substitute a combat maneuver that would normally be I'n place of an attack?
eg mo k maintains instead of crushing his opponent he footsweeps him. it's thematically propriate but may be why one would need greater grapple.
Since there's quite a clear list on page 200 of the core rules stating what you can do while grappling (and Combat maneuvres are not amongst the list items) and even the "Greater Grapple" feat only gives additional chances to use those options (namely "move, harm or pin") I'd rule out that possibility.

Not by the rules. I don't think it is fair for anyone to do two CMB's for the price of one so I would go by the book.
Good idea, nice way to fluff out a pinning maneuvre.
