This is probably not legal. In the configuration you describe there should not be a lot of current through the connection, but the use of the crimp contact on two wires is not what it was designed for. There are jumpers available that are designed to do exactly what you are attempting with the two wires though that should be legal. It consists of two male contacts and one female contact formed from a single piece of metal. It is small and compact and works very well.
My vote is to put the other distribution panel in, though. You know you are going to add a motor or another solenoid or something before the finals in Florida. Save yourself some time, and install it now.
