Sounds like a good idea, I hope there is not too much disturbance introduced. I haave seen this chain with Cisco Webex meetings where organisers used multiple hosts to connect maximum people and then all connected to one master host.
I am not sure how the calls are being setup, but if they will be using mute/unmute options for better clarity, then this kind of case has to be kept in mind. A (the teacher) connects with B, C, D, E (students) and F (second device), and now F1-5 from second device. All lines will be muted for except A while the teacher speaks, say now F1 has a doubt then F1 will unmute and also upon request F will require to unmute so that all can hear the doubt. This will require a careful syncronization. And also who ever will call will bear the cost regardless of his/her position in the chain.
