As long as you ensure that no-one can SPEAK in the conference, this should 
be just fine.

The Conference could be beamed out to a single Asterisk server (The 
Master) and then distributed via IAX2 and MeetMe to a bunch of servers in 
different area codes (The Slaves).

We do this all the time between my IAX2/guest at pbx.nacs.net/4570 bridge, 
BKW's system and occasionally the NuFone MeetMe.

It would be trivial to coordinate. I can provide a high-bandwidth 
distribution point, and NuFone has offered the same. I don't see any 
reason why this can't be easily accomplished.
