Why not? You can shuffle things around. Though at some point it is worth 
splitting the schemas.

Don't need allOf.

Now all the child nodes (at least) are duplicated. If you don't want to 
further extend the if/then schemas (it's a judgement call when splitting 
makes sense), then I'd suggest you move what is common to a separate 
schema file and then $ref it in this file and the original schema.
