I wouldn't do it, because according to my calculations, you need more than one spoke lengths to get it to work on an undished wheel.
It only works well when you have a jump of more than 4 holes. so 32h hub with 24h rim, 36h hub with 28h rim etc.
the math formula is here:

And I wrote this excel sheet based on the formula on the page.
