This should be acceptable to inspectors. At the FL regional last year, we dealt with a few custom circuits, and as long as the initial wire was 18g, we weren't too concerned, as long as it followed all of the other custom circuit rules. Just be prepared to explain the circuit to the inspectors and the judges, as they will likely take an interest.
