I've done this too. The "D" string of a classical guitar set is 0.030" (IIRC) and is a reasonable substitute for a Low G ukulele string.
Aquila's wound stings are fairly soft - I
think they use aluminum windings -- and require replacement much more often. I have a fairly heavy fretting touch and notice a lot of wear on the underside of the wound string at the frets. I keep several singles in my case (also good for letting someone try a low G configuration). I probably go through 3-4 wound strings for every change of the unwound.
