Well, obviously you can't start using a new/different entityID before
having made sure you propagated metadata for this entityID (it's
essentially a new/different SP) to all the IDPs you intend to use the
new/different entityID with.

You'd register/publish/distribute new metadata as if you were adding
another SAML SP -- because that's effectively what you're doing.
