(OP)
Can sheet sheeting be spliced together in a low headroom situation or am I limited to using other types of temporary sheeting?

I would caution though, that the integrity of the spliced sheet as a moment resisting element may not be as reliable as the solid sheet was. Take that into consideration in your calculations.

1. design depth of fully driven sheet piles
2. length of sheet piles being used
3. headroom available
4. height needed to accommodate driving equipment (is it a vibro?)
It may be possible as suggested by PSlem to partially drive the sheet piles by having a scondary lug, or even if using a backhoe mounted vibro to pull the piles down until there is sufficient headroom to drive from the top of the pile.
