Not something I have any experience with but please allow me opine from my armchair:

the only problems I forsee with that approach are:

-- any bends you might have to navigate -- supporting/stabilizing the new pipe -- sealing the top to prevent a down draft forming between them and pulling exhaust into your home

There are no bends, or I wouldn't even consider it, and figuring out the support/stabilizing of the new pipe would likely tie into sealing it to prevent the downdraft.

Those are good points though.
