I presume that both airlines would ideally want to move Virgin into Terminal A, or worst case into B1-B3. If so, that would require some reconfiguration to your original plan. Maybe Virgin and Spirit swap locations somehow? The key question is how many gates each airline is going to want.
The problem is that Virgin will still always be arriving at Terminal E due to customs/immigration. So moving Virgin would only benefit those arriving on Delta domestically and then leaving on Virgin. Those arriving on Virgin and then connecting on Delta would still need to change terminals. Though, I would not be expecting a lot of connecting traffic in BOS (unlike the airports) anyway which then makes it moot.
