You can certainly run multiple subnets on a single layer 2 network, but at this
point your not segmenting traffic correctly, which means traffic from each of
the subnets is "visible" to all of the other subnets - if someone
assigns an IP on another subnet, they can access the traffic, and even without
that, if they can put the network interface into promiscuous mode, they can see
all of it, anyway. So, there are some security implications there, along with
bandwidth, broadcast, multicast, etc., concerns.
