ummm... i would think it would be quite easy.
- take both wipers off,
- re-fit middle wiper in upright position
- keep other wiper aside to re-fit when you're sick of looking silly
j/ks mate - but seriously.. you definitely won't get as good a windscreen coverage with a dodgy single wiper conversion like this..

the question is,why do you want to? you'll make the car illegal,unsafe in heavy rain(as you'll see virtually nothing with only one badly positioned wiper),and IMO,stupid looking.
I reckon you leave the wipers as they are,and do something toward making the car better,not worse.

Depends what car its on...if its a huge one that sweeps over most of the windscreen like on a McLaren F1 or a Pagani Zonda...it looks really cool, and would still be very effective. But it takes a special car for a nnormal car to look good with the single wiper conversion.
