Can I split a VLAN Trunk into multiple trunks between 2 switches

$

Is it possible to split a trunk using 2 ports on each switch in order to decrease the bandwidth utilization on the trunk ports?


For example: Assume I have two switches with VLANs 1 to 10 configured.
Further assume I have switch1 Port1 trunked with all VLANs tagged to switch2 Port10.
Now assume I am pushing too much traffic for the port to handle.
Can I divide the trunk such that switch1 Port1 trunks VLANs 1 to 5 to switch2 Port10 AND switch1 Port2 trunks VLANs 6 to 10 to switch2 Port11?

Would this work without causing problems on both switches?
