I'd not make a habit of it! Quite apart from anything else, as you progress to heavier wires, it will be harder to accomplish, and you'll run a greater risk of accidentally doing some harm as a result. But it's probably OK. The only reason I could see it being a problem (since obviously you did not hurt yourself) is if it was not so much that the wire was getting too long due to tooth movement as it was that the wire was travelling from one side to the other - with that going on, if you kept trimming, you might suddenly find yourself without enough wire to go to the end of your arch on the opposite side to the side where you trimmed!
