I don't think that this is so new, although your use of a Twist Bowline
on the BIght is quite rare.
And it certainly is NOT going to be used by SARescue / climbers,
as the extension on an anchor failure is huge!
Moreover, the feed of rope through 'biners (the single big M of rope
moves through FIVE 'biners) assures unequal tension upon any
change in load angle from a perfect set.
If you are interested in further research on this anchor topic, there
is
recent re****ting in John Long & Bob Gaines's book _Climbing Anchors_
(2nd, revised edition), and much discussion leading up to, and now
newly after, publication on resp. rockclimbing.com (under "sliding-X
is it really better?" thread) and supertopo.com (a current thread).
