It's a lot of fun doing more than one regional, but don't forget the "wear and tear" on the students, mentors and chaperones. Doing back-to-back weekends are really tough and I wouldn't recommend it if at all possible. It's hard to take students (and teachers) out of class two weeks in a row, and hard for adults to take time off from work two weeks in a row. Also look at school testing schedules, vacation schedules, and any holidays that may fall during regional weeks before making your decision.
