I have asked that same question before and seems there is no problem.

But personally i would try all belts to be as short as possible. Actually on the machine i am building now i had to use 1200mm belt at one place /z/ and i worked on and changed the design until my longest belt is 305 mm. Again, its absolutely personal, but i wouldn't use something longer than 350mm.
Thanks Boyan,

On the X as pictured above at the moment is set for 385 long belts. On the Y I will have to use a 665 long one otherwise I would need to move the servo and belt assembly into a place I dont like as I want to be able to keep my eyes on it and most importantly protect it from the snow.

Thanks for the advice now I know the longer belt isn't a big problem :)
