That is OK as long you stay above 7200kHz with your transmission.
Other wise there is no need for "split".
Europe can´t work you there simplex.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Same-Band "Dueling CQs" Now Prohibited in All ARRLCont
If the concern is bandwidth used, shouldn't split operation be banned as
well? How does same band dueling CQ use more bandwidth than "listening on
this frequency and 7050"?
In both cases it is the activity triggered by the running station on both
frequencies that prevents those frequencies from being used by someone
else.
Not arguing for banning either, just pointing out that if bandwidth is the
concern they are essentially identical examples of "hogging" a scarce
resource.
