Yes, you should be able to do this. I did something similar in my fictional league; however, I did use the expand league option - I just chose not to have an expansion draft, and filled the team with fictional players.
The one issue you may have doing that is that I'm not sure how your organizational depth will work. Are you using minor leagues or a reserve roster? I was using a reserve roster, and only your active roster is filled with players - so the new teams don't have the depth others might. If you have minor league teams assigned, that might not be an issue.
The other thing you may want to test (or at least backup/save) is the timing of your expansion. I expanded Jan 1 as I was afraid of screwing up any historical standings/etc before the almanac saved for the year. However, those new expansion teams then missed out on a good chunk of the free agent signing period - so you may want to play with free agent/winter meeting dates or expand immediately when season ends to prep for free agency.
