It might be somewhat feasible to set up the second one as a regular
client/AP link as well, with a different channel context...

However, the clients on the original AP might not be amused - their AP
would mysteriously disappear every once a while, something they're not
expecting (unless you restrict it to P2P GO/client operation)
