I can't see why not.  Some people have suggested this method in order
to do custom fonts.  For example, assuming each character is an 8x8
and you're using 16-bit colour and you only have A to Z in there,
then you could have an 208x8 TIM in memory.  Whenever you wanted to
display a particular character, you'd adjust the GsSPRITE offsets.

If you're working with CLUTs, that may prove to be trickier as you
will have to account for the bit depth.  But the concept should be the
same.
