This may be a dumb question, but doesn't that then leave you with x number of pixels in your finished image that have no information at all? From your description, it sounds just like what happens with hard drives, where it maps bad sectors so it won't write to them. On a hard drive that's not necessarily a bad thing (except for losing some storage space), but on an image sensor I'd think that having "holes" in the area for capturing your image isn't a good thing.
