I would not. I had a lot of issues. My Professionally made harness also has the can wiring seprerat.

Also keep the CAN bus away from any Ignition boxes that create noise like M&W or Motec.
The can bus is extremly sensitive to Ignition noise etc. i spent days to only put my ignition box in the front left of the car and the ECU m800 in the passenger side rocker panel

I've made a lot of wiring looms and if CAN is away from high current wires in the same loom is ok, never had a problem.
separatly can loom is very fragile and is easy to damage it.
Just remember pair need to be twisted.
