I definitely do that with chapters/sections/scenes of a single novel (i.e., skip around as I'm writing). The advantage is that each chapter/section/scene is fresh. The difficulty is maintaining cohesion between disparate chapters/sections/scenes, written out of order, in different frames of mind. Requires lots of rewriting.
If the chapters/sections/scenes are for different novels, that will probably increase the freshness advantage while also increasing the cohesion difficulty.
