Certainly. For example, I could do it, and make it freely available.
You can download great, free LaTeX installations from the Internet.
Anyone can use it to make a PDF in any font size, so it has advantages
even if the next law-drafting committee doesn't bother to use it the
source.   I usually prefer searching LaTeX source than a PDF for
information in a document.  Also, LaTeX PDFs are generally more
beautiful that any other PDFs.

Personally, though, I see no problem with having unused law
numbers---it is easier on the memory and causes little or no distress
to anyone.
