Would it be any different to split the first transmission's gears, rather than splitting the rear transmission's gears?

In other words, first transmission, first gear, rear transmission, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, first trans in 2nd gear, rear trans in 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st....

Or, Rear trans in 4th, first trans in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, rear trans in 3rd, front in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th....

Would give the user 16 selectable gear ranges! LIKE A BIG TRUCK! LOL.
