Yup, in BlueTuba we went for this strategy and HR did the same in r11/12 (ironically making it impossible for ND to hit them given your post).

If you want to fly under the radar and become near impossible to kick lumps out of, spreading out is the right strategy, particularly if your active defence pool is limited. You'll lose more from the average galaxy raid but if you're good enough to get defence out to cover those, you end up losing very little. It's a very inefficient tradeoff but one well worth considering if you don't rate yourself in a war for #1 type situation. The only type of attack you really need to worry about is a fleetcatch, but then you are probably set up to avoid getting into that level of conflict in the first place.
