No problem. You could look at using a map to achieve the config
deduplication you're aiming for. Something like this (typed, but not
tested or syntax-checked!)

------------------------------------
http {
map $uri $map_output {
default "";
~ \.txt "value2";
~ \.css "value2";
}
server {
location ~ /(dir1/)?dir2/ {
add_header X-My-Header value1;
add_header X-My-Static $map_output;
proxy_pass http://myproxy;
}
}
}
------------------------------------

This will also have the effect of wiping out inbound X-My-Static
headers, which you could get round by referencing them in the default
map output if you really needed them to be passed through ...
