Yes, no way to really know without trying it. Either way, or other
creative transitional schemes, might work depending on the material
and the audience. 

A couple years ago, I sent a bunch of 10 minute recordings to a friend
for his radio show. The 10 minute length seemed to work well as a
transitional prelude (or whatever that's called in the radio biz)for
the early morning show on community radio. I keep meaning to put some
of those together as an album when I find the time.

Right now I am working with a ~20 minute stand alone model - long
enough to hold their own context, and marketed as as singles to the
ipod generation, yet three or four will fit nicely on a CD or zipped
in a mp3 album.
