As long as you didn't kink the spokes when bending them under you'll be fine.
I think its marginally less strong than crossing under the third. But I've been doing a similar thing (4x laced under the 3rd) for years on bmx wheels since it enhances the ability of the wheel to resist grind impacts and I've never had any troubles on wheels which are taking a damn sight more abuse.
