How to have Tree able to do Multiple Splits at each Node rather than just 2 using fitctree?

All the trees I've produced have two splits at each node, but sometimes this is not optimal. How can I set fitctree to allow for multiple splits of a variable?

I suppose tree could split x2 and then split again using the same predictor...perhaps my interest in multiple splits is irrelevant to quality of results?

As mentioned in this doc page, Statistics Toolbox trees are always binary i.e. having more than binary splits at each node is not possible.
