I don't think you'd be able to do that. Spokes from two adjacent holes on the same side of the flange wouldn't cross properly - you'd be bending the thickest part of the spoke very sharply, near to the elbow bend, so you'll get a really awkward double bend, with a load of pressure on the spoke that passes on top. I reckon it would weaken the wheel quite a bit.
