I think that it is possible, but impractical -- and not sure it  
provides any advantage.

The IdP knows you are going to the RP. It just does not know which  
Identifier you are using at the RP, but it does know the delegate  
that you are using. I'm not sure what significant information this  
hides from the IdP.
