Wouldn't it be similar to e.g. RGBRGBRGB tiff vs. RRGGBB tiff? These
two flavours exist already... I think somebody even mentioned storing
floating point photo data (for HDR "photos") in the tiff format...?
Good light!

I don't think so. A Bayer RAW file has *holes* in the individual
R, G, and B images. 50% of the G is empty, and 75% of the R and B are
empty. I don't think TIFF can deal with that... especially not in an
efficient manner.
I think what you're describing is how the data is written out.
You can "scan" through the individual pixels of an RGB image in just
about any permutation of
one row at a time,
one collumn at a time,
one color at a time
A "chunky planar" section at a time in one of the above methods,
... etc
