This would allow you to strip in line to land a fish and make it easier to cast all that line. With the line guides on the "female" end of each section, you would still be able to collapse the rod down to the line guides. I know that each section would not be able to go inside the others, but, it would still collapse to a pretty short length.
Did that with one of my crappie rods before I could get a real tenkara rod. It works, after a fashion, but you are then far enough away from the "fish close" connection and simplicity of tenkara that in my opinion you might as well just stick with your fly rod.
