Question about iptable's comments

I have used rules along the lines of

iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.0.0/8  -m comment --comment "Comment up to 256 characters" -j ACCEPT

with success, now I'm wondering if I can extend that to something like

iptables -A INPUT -m comment --comment "Comment up to 256 characters" 

for situations where comments longer that 256 characters are needed to adequately document a situation.  For example

iptables -A INPUT -m comment --comment "The below rule covers a complex situation where multiple systems on the same subnet require access on the given ports but IP addresses for systems on that subnet change over time, the purposes for the access are:"
iptables -A INPUT -m comment --comment "(first purpose described)"
iptables -A INPUT -m comment --comment "(second purpose described)"
.
.
iptables -A INPUT -m comment --comment "(last purpose described)"
iptables -A INPUT (actual rule specification)

I realize this may have some impact on processing efficiency because each of the above is an entry in a chain, the question I have is "If I do this, will it break anything?"
