[Amps] series-connecting a split-stator variable cap

I have a dual (split-stator) 20-100pF air cap, 0.040" gap (so ~1500V)
I need a single 15-50pF, 3000V for a tank tuning cap.
So is there any reason I can't simply series-connect the split stators and
float the rotor? Obviously the rotor must be isolated from the chassis
now, and I won't get 20/2=10pF min due to frame effects, but I only need
15...anything I'm missing?
TIA,
