No, that makes a lot of sense! I love seeing how other people are structuring their novel, and that sounds like a really fascinating way of structuring it! I think I'd really enjoy reading that type of narrative, and I completely understand the need for planning. I'm glad you figured out a way to make it work!
My novel is in switching first person, so I had to do a lot of advance planning, too, to make sure all the different character threads interacted at appropriate points. To avoid confusion, I *have* to stick to a formal, specific alteration (in this case it's C1, C2, C3, C1..., but I considered C1, C2, C1, C3, C1...)
