Yes antime they can be added. Usually yeast energizer is added around 1.000 to give the yeast a boost to finish fermentation.
Yeast nutrient can be added all upfront or half now and rest later on. Your preference.
Nutrient 1 teaspoon per gallon of must.
Energizer 1 teaspoon per 5-6 gallons total.

Just FYI
Upon my musts reaching 1.000 I add a teaspoon of energizer, stir very well mixing it but more so to release CO2.
I then immediately snap on a lid with an airlock (#2 bung fits a 3/8ths hole). The CO2 will remain on top of the must protecting it from oxygen. Any additional CO2 released can exit thru the airlock.
The wine is finished in 2-3 days.
That's my way. Again FYI
