Not at all! If it helps you get those tasks done more efficiently, it's worth breaking them up that way.

There are a lot of good ideas in GTD but I don't think it should be regarded as graven in stone. If your workflow works for you, that's great. As an example, I have a couple projects in OmniFocus that don't really have a specific outcome. ("Drink Water", for example.)

One of the David Allen coaches told me I shouldn't have a project like that, but I figure in the meantime, I'd rather follow my doctor's advice to stay properly hydrated. :-)
