Shouldn't be any problem with vignetting, especially on a crop at that focal length range. One potential problem can occur if your present 77mm adapter ring is the wide angle variety, and not the standard. The WA rings sits a few mm further back, and when I attach it to my B+W non-slim CPL, there's barely enough room to grab with your fingertips when trying to separate the two. Since the step ring is fairly thin (much thinner than a regular CPL), this will be a problem for you once the step ring has been attached to the lens. Other than that, the arrangement should work fine.
One easy fix would be to attach the WA ring somewhat tightly to the step ring BEFORE attaching the step ring to the lens. When attaching the assembly to the lens, thread the step ring LIGHTLY onto the lens, making for easy removal. Once the assembly has been removed from the lens, its very easy to remove the step ring from the adapter. If the step ring is attached tightly to the lens, then you will have the problem. Hope all of this makes sense...
