I know most of you will say it depends on the person, but generally speaking, is it better to work out your chest and triceps on one day, and back and biceps on another? OR Chest and biceps on one day, then back and tricps on another, with a day rest in between?
Shouldn't be a problem. Only thing I notice with your split is you're working shoulders on Wednesday and chest on Thursdays. Remember that working out chest also gives your shoulders a good workout. You may need to separate that workout so as not to fatigue your shoulders too much.
Agree with Texan that you want to spread shoulders and chest as far apart in your split as you can.
As for chest/tris together or separate, there's advantages and disadvantages to both. You should try both ways and see what works best. For me, I like to switch back and forth. Right now, I'm on an opposing muscle group kick for some number of weeks, so I do bis/tris together, and chest/back together.
As for the reasons, we'll, they've all been written up in great volumes here on RJ and all over the web, and I don't really have much to add to the pile that you can get with a google search, so I'll just be lazy and end...
Yeah you can take several days off, then go back to the gym. I normally take three days off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... Then the rest of the week I workout.

The only change I would make is to take an extra day off as working out 6 days a week may not give your body enough recooperation time. I try to take off two days back to back but to each his own.
