You should have no problems, especially since making a piece of paper
yellowish only puts a tiny bit of ink on it, so drying time isn't an issue.
I haven't done exactly that, but I frequently print multiple test prints on
the same paper, where the print head passes over a previously printed area.

Of course, in most photo editors, it's pretty easy to do that with layers.
