It
might be doable. There is a way to mathematically calculate the proper distances, but you have to ensure that you account for tension. Also, With two short wraps like that, the deflection needed to cause ratcheting is very low, The tension needed to avoid might cause parts to warp lead to binding. If somebody who has tried this disagrees, I would love to hear about your setup, but generally, this isn't done.
I suggest one longer wrap on one side of the pulley and idlers that guide the other side of the belt around the pulley.
