Adding a Second Super

In cold climates, it is important to ensure the bees have sufficient stores of winter honey before we add honey supers (additional boxes) for our own harvest. In this video, Gary Reuter shows how to add a second honey super to colony in the middle of summer.

So in Minnesota, should the goal be to have 3 deeps and 2 supers? It seems like most of what I’m seeing online everyone just sets up 2 deeps and 1 super.
