Why not just connect all the resistors together with one straight trace, and put on trace between that and the cap. They'll save copper and make the board cheaper.
I know of no PCB fab house that prices production on how much copper is etched out of the foil (even though they recycle the dissolved copper afterwards). On the contrary, i usually got the advice of leaving as much copper on the board as I could, as it makes their life easier (and balancing becomes very easy).
