Making two separate exposures at two different paper grade filtrations is
referred to as split-grade printing. The two grades can but don't have to be
at the softest and hardest filtrations, they can be any two different
filtrations. Many practitioners use grade 1 and 4 to split-grade for
example.
Why then, is your proposal not split-grade printing.
BTW, 00 is not a paper grade, it's a filter number. The two should not be
confused.
