It is definitely not ok.  Cut out the burr comb and push the frames close together.  Extra space between frames encourages extra comb.

As Frameshift says, get to fixing that problem now before it becomes a major mess.  My bees will do that sometimes on plastic foundation that isn't waxed very well.

Always remove bad comb and remove it early.

A bucket comes in handy for all your burr comb. I always have one with me when working them.

I am puzzled as to why some bees build perfect comb and others with equipment from the same batch will build crazy comb. I find that just scraping it off usually does not work. I swap frames with one from another hive.
