I somehow doubt it would work properly. Despite the clumsy, huge  
cartridge, the internals are pretty tightly controlled for tolerances.

Just buy a couple of rolls and sacrifice them. It's not like a roll  
of 110 film is all that expensive... :-)

You can buy a 100' roll of 16mm Kodak DoubleX Pan single perf (the  
equivalent of Plus X) for about $10. That's many rolls of 16mm still  
camera film and no slitting required. Figure out the right processing  
and exposure it for the ASA required...
