checking luggage on a OW Ticket

Hi,

I'm on a OW ticket with the following stopovers (as well as other stops):

MAD (3 day stopver) inbound on IB, outbound on IB
LIS (3 day stopver) inbound on IB, outbound on AY
OSL (3 day stopver) inbound on IB, outbound on BA

My luggage consist of the big bag (for my longer stops not listed here) and my liitle bag, (enough for 3 days).

Is it possible (or desirable) to try to check my big bag through to my next stop and just grab the little for the three day stopover. For example, I arrive in MAD with my little bag, my big bag sits with IB for three days and joins me on my next leg.

This idea is a bit appealing but seems a good way to lose luggage as well. It might be easier to simply use the airport luggage storage BUT I thought I'd asked for opinions.

Thanks....
