I have not tried anything like that but I suspect what will happen is they will grow up until they fall over, probably nearly a foot, then they will loop round themselves and grow back up again, That is what happens to the peas that get to the top of their
trellis at my place. Runner beans tend to loop round each other and make it 2-3 feet up self supported before falling over and snapping.
I think if you wanted a long cascading effect you would need to put a stick in going down and tie them to it once a week or so.
