True perpendicular routing should not introduce any significant 
cross-talk.  If you are autorouting, I would be more concerned with 
keeping the number of layer swaps and their associated vias / via stubs 
in check.

On the other hand, if you have significant parallelism between offset 
stripline layers then you can manually estimate or better use a field 
solver to figure out how much cross-talk you are going to get.  It 
should come as little surprise that if you have 4 mils to your return 
plane and 4 mils to parallel victim traces that you can couple a 
significant amount of energy into the victim traces.  You would want to 
review that carefully to see if it is enough.
