I don't think that would work.  Any time I have tried to keep onion sets for too long, whatever the conditions, they have ended up mouldy.  A better idea may be to join or start a seed exchange scheme, (it only needs two or three people), and exchange the surplus sets for something you need but haven't bought yet.

If you like strong spring onions pack a big handful tightly together in a plantpot shoulder to shoulder in your favoured growing medium. The sets will have no room to swell too much so most of the growth will be green tops and a slight swelling in the bulbs. Result....spring onions
