Yes, but that would leave a 2% gap between the floats. In some cases
that's fine, in others not.

As long as we're using floats: if one wants a gap-free line-up, or there
are to be more than two floats dividing the available width, then
floating them all in the same direction and pull in the backside-margin
on the last one to make them add up slightly to short, is most reliable.
All browsers understand this method.
