You can extend a circuit almost from any point in that circuit.

I personally would mark the cables to show it feeds the light and do the required testing etc. Making sure the circiut was RCD protected.

It is a safe way to connect to a circuit because you have access for maintenance and if need be repair. Although not required for extra safety you could use a switched fused spur as the outside light switch so have a built in isolator for that circuit.
