Nothing in FTN technology prevents it and it has been done,

NET 229 sits in Region 12, but according to the formulas used to
assign net numbers it should be in REGION 11.

REGNUM X 20
REGNUM X 200

11 x 20 = Range 220 - 239
12 x 20 = Range 240 - 259

There were of course existing nets usually in the sub 200 range that
were geographically assigned, the above formulary was used to allot
net numbers for expansion.
