 Why not? The first 21 rasters have the first 8 sprites, then you have an
interupt & another 8 sprites. At raster 42 another interupt etc. Of
course this assumes they are all on the same line.
 For example you could use this method to have a logo or picture (3colour
of course) behind or on top of some text. It would only be 24 chars wide of
course.
 To do this kind of thing you dont really have enough raster time between
the first 8 & the second 8 sprites, so a solution is to change screen
pages in the interupt. This saves you changing the $07f8 registers. You
only have to change the y positions of the sprites.
