I can't recall seeing it done before.
Ed did, with and old tyre I believe: keeps the front of the drivetrain clean(er).

There is, currently mudguard stop right at or just before the chainstay bridge, meaning water get sprayed toward chain and chainset, sometime feet.
The guide using the SKS long flap on that location mean the water get directed away from the chain/chainset.
This with the front and rear long mudflap combine should keep your drivetrain clean.
If you want cleaner, go for proper mudguard like the GB/Honjo, as the stay mounted on the outside instead of the inside, and the channel on both side allow water to drain off properly SKS doesn't have much of a channel).

@Sanddancer
Is there much benefit to a flap on the front egde of the rear guard? I'm going for maximum coverage so thought I'd put one there too, but if the guard comes down to the chainstays I'm not really sure it's going to provide any benefit. I can't recall seeing it done before.
