Can you have 2 active torrents pointing to the same file?

I have a huge archive torrent with 1 file unfinished @ ~98%

I located another torrent for the single missing file and have downloaded it to 99.6%

Currently, there are no seeds for either, but hope springs eternal.

Is it ok to point both torrents to the same file so that if a seed or a peer with the missing chunks ever does show it will finish both? Or should I keep the incomplete files separate until one of them finishes, after which I can change the pointers? :/

I thought they might.

But what I was able to do was make a copy of the most complete file and place it in the other torrent's download folder and then did a "relocate" and a "force re-check" to sync it. That made both torrents nearly complete. now just to wait for a passing seed :\
