We would usually have the GND frequency set on the other box so that we could call them and still monitor the TWR.
So you'd call ground whilst between the parallels just to see if they'll want you on the bridge or E?
If ground is busy and doesn't realize you're still between the runways and says "taxy via E" you could conceivably cross the runway with departing traffic on it. You are sucking the ground controller in.
This happens here still but we're attuned to it and ground will tell you to hold position and go back to tower even if you've been given a crossing clearance but no frequency change.
Maybe the tower there could be more proactive and lead you into the appropriate taxiway?
