Don't even try to do that. First of all, you have to have a reliable way to index the same docs to the same shards. The docs are all mixed up in the segment files and would lead to chaos. Solr/Lucene report the same doc multiple times if it's indifferent shards, so if you ever updated a document, you wouldn't know what shard to send it to.
Second, the segments are all parts of a single index, and Solr expects (well, actually Lucene) expects them to be consistent. Putting some on one shard and some on another would probably not allow Solr to start (but I confess I've never tried that). So I really wouldn't even try to go there.....
