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.
