Dictionary suggest yours is ok but I have seen "overdrawn" used more frequently:
.......to see which account was more overdrawn.
.......to see which account was more overdrawn.

Somehow I'm more comfortable with "in greater deficit".
If I want to say I took out more money than i had in my account I would say I overdrew my account.
However, to compare two overdrawn accounts, I prefer using greater deficit. (if I'm wrong, please correct me!)
