You'd need two editions of the translation, the training one and the unaltered, which seems like wasted effort when having one translation with Yoda-style English would be adequate for both groups of readers. It's easy enough for a native English speaker to read a jumbled sentence when it has enough punctuation.
Your sentence above, for example, could be "The easier ordering of words, more naturale; master them so after, graduate, the idea is, you would to Greek, unaltered and full -- (just as) learn-ride a bicycle with wheels-training, then graduate to no-wheels, is the point" if that's the word order of the original language. It would also cause the reader to think in the word order of the translated language, to discern its thematic structure as well as its semantic structure.
