You can take it one step further and convert both one-time pad and the resulting ciphertext into the same mnemonic format as the original seed. This will allow users to enjoy the benefits of mnemonic format - ability to memorize it, being easy to write down on paper and easy to transfer from paper back to computer.
That's a cool idea, I hadn't thought of that. It's definitely possible!
The only downside I can think of is that if you forget which is the key and which is the seed it might take a few attempts to figure it out. I suppose that's a reasonable trade off since you normally wouldn't have to restore from a backup very frequently.
It actually wouldn't make any difference, since decryption is just addition modulo 2048 and both parts are of the same length, so ciphertext + key and key + ciphertext both yield the plaintext.
Also, the cool side effect is that you can use both the key and the ciphertext as some sort of decoy wallets. Providing you have copies and backups, you can give them up to physical attackers to lose only a fraction of your coins.
