Safe to use yes... but it MAY get a bit warm..
Still i would never use such a thing... i would always look that you use two seperate cables...

This way there is less stress on one single cable

Don't use an adaptor, that's much worse than using the proper connectors that share the one cable. Anyway, it's quite common for PSU manufactures to do the PCIe connectors that way, I wouldn't be surprised if the wires are a heavier grade to allow for this.
