Has anyone stacked female rectangular headers to make a high density sensor?

I wondered if stacking female headers would be a problem for using 8 ads1298 generic sensor modules so the analog header pins could be connected to a main board that has spring pins surface mounted to the other side.

springs

The sensor boards are about as wide as the header area so they point outward and idc headers take the digital data to a Maple & ft2232h module to send the data to a pc and the maple clocks and loads the sensor configuration registers.

crud my askee art got squashed... it looked like more headers stacked in the center so boards could be close to the center of the array patch.
Then their was only one header on the edges so the boards could be unplugged.

Why you can't make it ? Also you can make custom maple layout as need. Use maple schematic for compatibility with maple ide.

since maple is open source and my project only uses open source I used kicad and coppied the eagle schematic into it manualy.
It took a wile but now I can reshape the maple headers as needed.
