Of course it might be possible - in fact, I would assert that it is highly likely to be possible.
Many organizations do this. With the RFID "blue sheet" data it would be
pretty straightforward to do a cluster analysis and see if (say) RAI and
Routing area attendees are disjoint enough that you could have
RAI at the beginning of the week, RA at the end, and spread the load out.

I would personally be surprised if a cluster analysis or principal component analysis of the RFID data didn't reveal some means of separating the meeting sessions like this.

Whether this is a good idea is another matter.

I hadn't thought of that...

No, I was suggesting that if registrants explicitly say which WGs are really interesting ("conflicts in that set spoil my trip") and which are less interesting ("I'll attend those since I'm there anyway"), then it may be possible to use more meeting rooms for a shorter period, without spoiling people's trips.

It really depends on how many people would include forty WGs in the "really important for me" set.
