That probably won't work well. The core would couple the windings 
together, so that the voltage drop between the first coil and center-tap 
(primary) would be injected back into the second coil (secondary) by 
transformer action.

It would be better to use two separate cores, which could be a bit 
smaller, spaced apart from each other to reduce capacitive coupling 
between them.
