It is not recommended as it violates the receommendation and
common expectatios of everyone. The WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 packet
takes two hops. Thus, when it arrives as:
DIGI1,WIDE1,DIGI2,WIDE2*
It all kinda makes sense. Two hops were used. But if he used
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 which is a 3 hop path, it would arrive as:
DIGI1,WIDE1,DIGI2,DIGI3,WIDE2*
And we see he three hops, and we see that the sum of the WIDE1*
and WIDE2* add up to 3. It makes no sense to confuse everyone
by doing anything else.
