This is legal. But why should we do this?

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" can be omitted since no CTE: is
treated as "CTE: 7bit".

However, I believe this is a kind of rule for error handling, and both
CT: and CTE: should appear in each part.

P.S.

All in all, you should not take care of the Content-* field at all.
