Are there any situations in which the coefficient of kinetic friction is
greater than that of static friction for particular surfaces?

Sure.

Example: A boat. The static friction between the surface of the hull and
the surface of the water is zero. At any nonzero velocity, the dynamic
friction is greater than zero.
