That's a working scheme if you have the space. Probably would work with only a 6 or 8 foot space at the ends too without having to be at right angles. But the smaller fan angle might require a bit of pruning from interaction.

A little late comment,  but I once had two dipoles on a single coax for
75/80 meters.  One cut for mid-phone band,
and one for mid-CW band.  The two were spread at about a 90 degree angle
to each other.  Think of
a multi-band multi-element dipole on a single feedline, but on sub-bands
of 80 m.  It worked well on
both parts of the band and just had a little SWR hump in the middle,
about 1.5/1 or so.  Of course,
it took quite a bit of real-estate, and may have been more effective in
different directions on each
end of the band.
