That's what I have done. Pretty much all of my money is in low cost index funds or index tracking ETFs.

If the account is tax deferred, then I have 10% Domestic REIT and 10% International REIT with the other 80% in those equity index funds. If the account is taxable, then I skip the REITs.

For the equities portion
50% Intl / 50% Dom
50% large cap / 50% small cap
50% growth / 50% value

So tax deferred will have 10 separate investments, and taxable accounts will have 8.
