Sure -but make it easy on yourself. Assuming you are bonding the 2" edge of one to the 2" edge of the other, drill a hole about half way through the edge, big enough to accept the width of the head of the screw you'll be using. Now you can use a shorter screw.
Also, apply construction adhesive you you get a nice seal all the way. Just a thin bead will do, right down the center. As you draw up on the screws, it will squeeze out the sides a bit, telling you you're "home."

This would be up to you, I don't know why you'd want to do this though.
