I've done this recently (dropped a large site down a level, used VHM to 
address the change), and it worked perfectly. The site was tens rather 
than hundreds of meg, but had some horrible links in it, none of which 
broke. I did it on a production server, and it hammered the CPU for a 
few minutes - you may need to be patient!

HTH!
