You can basically do what you like - the pipework from the external
stopcock onwards is your responsibility, so you can change it if you
need to. Not sure how it would improve things though.

Can you tee off before the stop cock on the rising water main if there is
separate isolation provided?
I'd be very suprised if the answer was yes.
I probably don't want to do that, but it would improve performance to my
boiler with out ripping the kitchen apart, since All the new plumbing is
under the floor.
I guess I don't want to put another stopcock in the cellar.

This is the existing layout
