If your intent it to try something different to see if it works better for you, I'd suggest just trying it!
* first try the setup on land, and see how it feels
* Verify you can easily access and breathe from both, and they're not tangled.
* Give the new setup a try on a dive that's not challenging for you
* Practice switching regulators while on the dive, and verify it's comfortable and convinent.
If your intent is to avoid buying a different length hose .... I'd just buy another hose. DiveGearExpress has some reasonably priced flex-hoses of various lengths.
I'm a little confused why you're bringing up the canister light, since you don't have one.
edit: I'm also confused as to why you want to do a non-standard hose routing. I'm all for innovation and trying something new, but often the "tried and tested works best" ... is that way because a lot of people with far more experience and experimentation haven't yet found a better way.
I'd suggest trying the "official" way first, and then trying other ways.
