I understand the sentence; I don't have a problem with it, but...
The first sentence seems more fitting to klingon style, where it is ok to 
repeat parts; and the first also processes faster in the mind.  The second 
would require reading it twice.
So before we even get into being legal or not, the first one is prefered.
