Sure you can. You should be fine, VS are quite good when it comes to interlining bags from the US onto other carriers on separate tickets. I'd be very surprised if they didn't through-check your bags for you.
Check out this thread as other posters have mentioned successful interlining by VS onto other carriers, including BA (post no.3).
