Hi Beth, I think for the larger loaves you're still meant to slice the loaf in the middle, so that you create two round spiral loaves rather than two longer ones, but it seems like your method would work quite nicely as well, and might make for loaves that are a little more evenly distributed, rather than being on the tall side. Baking time may vary a bit with your alternative method, and feel free to put them on two trays if they seem like they need the extra room.
