Supersolid is a special state of matter with both superfluid properties and spontaneous modulation of particle density. In this paper, we focus on the supersolid stripe phase realized in a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate and explore the properties of a class of metastable supersolids. In particular, we study a one-dimensional supersolid whose characteristic wave number $k$ (magnitude of wave vector) deviates from $k_{m}$, i.e., the one at ground state. In other words, the period of density modulation is shorter or longer than the one at ground state. We find that this class of supersolids can still be stable if their wave numbers fall in the range $k_{c1}
