That looks like a big difference in the floor. It is fine to do what you are doing but you need to put more thinner pieces along the rest of the gap. This will disipate more of the weight to the floor instead of shifting it all to whatever size that one board is. I did the same thing with three boards that gradually got thinner so there is actually only about an inch of the stand that does not make contact with the floor. I would post pics but its on carpet so you cant see it because the carpet hides it.
