wheel lacing

I have a 24 hole kinlin rim that is good. I have the same rim that is a 28 hole that is not good. This rim is a 2 cross rear spokes. Is there any possibility I can re-lace the 24 hole rim with 2 cross and use the same spokes ..The spoke lengths are 279 and 282. I know I sound crazy but I have to think outside the box and frankly I am willing to try if it can work. Somewhere I am going to have to skip holes?

I have a 24 hole Novatec hub that you can have if you'd like it. It is presently a Campy Freehub but I'm sure that you can get a Shimano on eBay fairly cheap. The rim is a carbon 50 mm deep that has delaminated so the spokes are no doubt the incorrect length.
