Yes.  The TXT specification is 

"TXT-DATA        One or more <character-string>s.

TXT RRs are used to hold descriptive text.  The semantics of the text
depends on the domain where it is found."

	(RFC 1035 section 3.3.14.)

There is nothing syntactially worng with those entries. I congratulate
people advocating SPF in TXT records while also writing parsers.
