Didn't think so. Also, a typical party gyle, as i understand it, is the initial beer has a higher starting gravity than the 2nd beer, due to the main runnings being drained out in the first batch. However, if my recipe design is for 8 gallons rather than 5 gallons, wouldn't my gravity for both batches be close to the same? Or would the sparge water sitting on the grain bed for a couple hours before the 2nd runnings dilute specific gravity of that wort? Just curious if the initial sparge to gather the main batch runnings removes more sweet wort than the 2nd batch or the "leftovers". I'll try it anyway and see what i get, just curious of the effects.

Your gravity will be different unless you do no sparge. You'll drain your mash tun, then add sparge water, right? Well the wort from the mash will be much higher gravity than what you get from the sparge.
Your first brew will be all of the wort from draining the mash and some sparge. The second will be all from the sparge.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your intentions, which is highly likely
