I do that for when I want to run my 44T cassette versus the 36T cassette, takes all of a min to swap out.
The difference in chain wrap, since the chain only engages have the cog, (34-28)/2=3t. 3t is a link pair and a half. I wouldn't bother for one link pair, and on modern cogs a bit of a chain gap doesn't usually cause a problem, so you could probably ignore the B screw as well.

Lots of people do this and it works fine.
