It is possible. If you just connect the internet/WAN port of one router into one of the numbered ports on the other, you can set them up separately. However, if you're going to do this, you might as well just set up your main router for WEP.

By weakening the security at one point of the network, you've created just as big of a hole as to just weaken the security of the whole thing (which is the whole point of WPA)
