HP 5412 question--spreading trunk across modules?

Hi, I'm a relative newbie to the HP way of doing things and inherited a config of a 5412 in a server room with 5406's on 2 additional separate floors. Each of the 5406's are connected via 2 10gig connections and are configured as a standard HP Trunk (trk, not lacp). Floor 2 is connected to a single 5412 module using 2 ports, and Floor 3 is connected to a second module on the 5412. Is there any reason why I shouldn't create the trunks across the modules to get a little redundancy in there, where Floor 2 has 1 10gig connection to module 1 on the 5412, 1 10gig connection to module 2 on the 5412, and configure the trunk like that? It seems logical that if I lost a module to have it work that way so the whole floor wouldn't drop off.

New to the HP way so be gentle! Thanks!
