Be very careful doing this. When you change assumed Rails conventions and behavior, it tends to bite you in unexpected ways. While you can override the ID column, I'd suggest not doing it.
I'd seriously just let Rails add an extra ID column and put the big table in other columns. The cost is small and you are not potentially breaking future Rails stuff.
