diverse multisite advertising?

I've been reading up on BGP and asking around, but still havent found a hard yes/no on this...hopefully someone here can provide clarification. If I have a single ASN and an IP allocation from ARIN, can I advertise one half of my prefix from one site and the other half from another distinct non-connected site using the same ASN? If so, are there implications with mutihoming to all unique ISPs (2 per location)? I seem to remember that an AS Path wouldnt be valid with the same AS appearing more than once in non-sequential order, i.e. at the beginning and the end in this case, but am unable to verify since everything I've been reading up on discusses BGP in single-site terms. Thanks in advance, Gregori
