Absolutely. There is no reason whatsoever why you cannot do this. You will not damage the Yammy (preouts) nor the amp. There should be no signal degradation due to splitting as the 7100 input impedance is plenty high, and your Yammy wouldn't even feel it.
The RS speaker selector - I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole.
Use those extra 2 channels for the remote speakers. BTW, the Y splitter idea is routinely applied for using the two extra channles for bi-amping. Whether bi-amping improves the sonic quality is an entirely different matter.
