exactly, you'd have to replace the 14-tooth cog with another 14-tooth that was designed for use next to an 11-tooth.

As usual, Sheldon tells all, his article deals with Shimano ones rather than Campy, but the basic problem and solution should be the same

As for it not actually working at all, I've been running a cobbled-together cassette on an MTB for a while, some of the cogs are not designed to work with the ones they're next to, so they do shift rather badly, but it works.
