good idea to bend a 60m rope in two for glacier travel?

What are your thoughts on bending a 60M rope in two for glacier travel with a 3 person team? I know most places I have come across demonstrate using a single 50m rope and coil the slack around the torso at the ends. What I was wondering if you can simply bite a 60m at the middle to form a double 30m and use that instead? Is that possible? Any pros or cons I should be aware of? I It just seems like it would be easier to get in and out of your rope using a 30m.
