i did this about 6 months ago with 12 years of wview data, “this” being copying 
wview db into weewx space and changing vp2’s interval from 30 mins to 5 mins. 
the old data on 30 mins archive interval freely mixes in reports with newer 
data on 5 min interval

the only problem i struck was some not-quite-right data in the wview db that 
weewx objected to, probably caused by my patching a few data entries years ago 
with strings not numbers, which was simple to fix
