That's what I would do, but for BBB which is mostly straight up I would probably just use them as twins, i.e clip them both to every draw which is a bit more straightforward, unless you are worried about taking a massive whipper and getting them cut... trad style double roping, i.e alternating between which rope you clip depending on bolt/pro location, is probably making that a bit less likely to happen since both ropes are running different paths.
