Sure, just use one of the larger memory models.  This gives you access
to up to 1MB of code or data (depending on the memory model) but after
that, I'm not sure what (if anything) VROOM will do if you need more
than 1MB of data.  As for code, I understand it automatically takes
care of this overlay stuff.
