I do it like this all the time. most of the time landuse areas etc border at roads or other linear fetaures. I reuse segments wherever possible (also if somebody moves a road a bit, the corresponding landuse gets moved with it, I'd consider that a feature).
Of course maplint complains like hell about the areas where arrows point in different directions. I ignore it here.
