Why would you want to do that? At any given number of spokes and flange height, there is usually one X number that puts the spokes closest to tangent to the hub flange. That is what you want; it is the purpose of crossing the spokes. There is no reason to have a different X on one side than the other when there are the same number of spokes on both sides. The weight savings would be minuscule. The lone exception is radial lacing on the NDS.
