This is entirely possible, as all a Bitcoin address is is a string of numbers. I'm not sure why you would want to do this though.

Yes but the key length of a bitcoin public/private key pair is relatively short, so it may not provide as much security.

Definitely, but the actual size of a bitcoin public and private key pair is not long at all, so i struggle to see how this will provide the security that your looking for
