Like that, yeah. It may actually be more efficient than having one big table with 100+ columns -- you're going to be running multiple queries anyway, since you are restoring to multiple source tables.
Having short rows may make better use of cache, and if you do use INSERT INTO SELECT and avoid reading data from mysql into your script for manual manipulation, you can save some bandwidth and time costs there, since INSERT INTO SELECT can be done entirely internally by the mysql server process (rather than ferrying row data back and forth from your script's process).
