It might make sense to write two (or more) "companion" novels simultaneously.

Some decades ago, I wrote two novels, simultaneously, one set in the twentieth century and one set in the eighteenth century, based on the same (twentieth century) real life people as inspiration for my characters. At some level, they were "one novel" because they used the same people, albeit in different contexts.

Another example is that if I were writing a novel and a sequel, I might want to go "back and forth" between the original and the sequel to make sure that they fit.
