Yes, I believe this should work just fine.  In fact, I think it can
possibly improve the performance of swapping since you can use both
disks (same concept as some of the RAID modes).  I think you have to
set the priorities (pri=x) to be the same in fstab in the options
section.  It has been a while since I have looked at this stuff.
Google knows a lot about it : ).  Here is one site that I found by
searching for "swap partition priority linux" (no quotes):
