"Lets be stupid and imagine a specially constructed 10 mile runway it would make the V1 debate look rather stupid."

No, it wouldn't.

For example:

Blowing all the tyres on one bogey is going to cause more than a casual float to the side at 130+ kts. You could end up with a loss of control on the ground.

Tyre debris flying around. Hot brakes - fire.
Unnecessary damage to tyres, brakes, stress on the airframe...

You are setting yourself up for all kinds of unnecessary problems and risks performing an RTO after V1 and unless you are not confident of your aircrafts ability to fly, then you are far better off to go, get lighter and spend some time on the problem.
