Long Landing Approved

Our tower routinely offers landings with "long landing approved". Our
runway has distance remaining markers (and about 1,000 feet of paved
overrun space if the first 11,000 were not enough).
Is there any reason I cannot fly over the first 9,000 feet of runway
and land on the remaining 2,000 feet? The plane and pilot are capable,
I just want to know if there is a legal problem.
Perfectly legal. That's exactly what the tower has in mind when they say
"long landing approved".
Years ago I was having trouble learning to land. The instructor told
me to head for the airport with a 10,000 ft. "You can get in 3 landing
per pass." [As it turned out we started picking up some ice and had to
break off. But it was a good idea.]
