Can I separate the radiant manifolds?

I am a newbie diyer, installing Caleffi (S1 series) inverted manifolds in the joist space under the subflooring. In one location I am limited with install options and want to "separate" the hot-supply manifold from the cold-return manifold. The system comes pre-assembled with a hanging bracket keeping them parallel. I want to cut the bracket and mount them in-line. The pex tubing length would essentially be almost the same. Can I do that? I can't see why not, wanted to ask if anybody knows otherwise and I am missing something. Thanks

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    Or unbolt them from the bracket and build another mounting method

    Once you cut that factory bracket it will be flimsy and not very user friendly
