It would work, with careful cutting of the reflector edges to ensure the parabolas do not distort from the pressed form.
The main problems I can see would be
1)the supporting of all the reflectors, (which would almost certainly add cost to the point it might be worth buying a 1.8m in the first place),
2) Finding a feed that is matched to the new design, now prime focus, of an f/d ratio that is most likely unlike anthing on the market, and
3) Fabricating a mount that can connect to the new backplate(s) that doesn't distort what you have achieved.
