Yes, you can do that but the connections must be inside a sealed box that is accessible…as in not covered by Sheetrock. I remodeled a master bath and moved outlets around. I didn’t want to run another 50’ home run to the panel so I added a few junction boxes in the attic and mounted then about 4’ up on truss supports so when I blew in the 30” of insulation, the junction boxes were still accessible…god I hope I never have to go back up there and wade through that loose blown insulation.
