    IF I am reading you correctly, I think it is a bad idea.
    1. It is extremely bad to have switches (the relay) between the driver and the stepper. Inductive kickback can let the magic smoke out:{(
    2. Even disconnected, I would think there would be wasted power turning the disconnected stepper.
    3. Two different "steps/move" to contend with, how to handle that?

    Just my thoughts
