A very common practice is to do exactly this and to root the odd
vlans on one switch and the evens on the other. Works just fine in a
PVST environment. If you are going to go nuts on the vlan front and
plan to run MST then you should use a large block oriented allocation
method as odds vs evens will result in a huge MST config on all your
access switches.
