Default Side by Side dipoles

A recent storm broke a limb over which one end of my 20 meter dipole was
strung up. I also have a 10 meter dipole that I haven't been entirely happy
with it's location. Since I have to put one end back up anyway...

I'm thinking of putting them side by side on the rope, as I have a lot of
space between the trees. Something like:

Tree--Rope--20m--short_rope--10m--Rope--Tree

I only plan on operating one antenna at a time. Anyone forsee any problems
with this layout? I was a tad worried about the lobes coming off the ends in
the middle might have problems.

Oh, they will be about 40 to 45 feet off the ground.

Thanks,
