Yes, as long as the splice is made in a junction box that can have a cover attached to it and it must be accessable. This means its not to be covered with drywall. The wire must also be of the correct size and conductor count. For a dryer it is a 3 conductor #10 wire. The breaker size at the breaker panel is a two pole 30 amp.

Is it possible to put a 4-prong plug on a dryer that uses a 3-prong plug and how would you do this?
If you are viweing this because you want to change the newer 4-prong plug/outlet to fit an older 3 prong outlet/plug don't do it! The newer plug is safer and the 3 prong plug no longer meets code. See the discussions in other threads. all you need to do is hook the two hot leads on the outer terminals, then the nueatral, white wire on the center terminal and the green ground wire to the ground screw. Be sure to remove the bonding jumper that ties the neutral to the chassis. This is no longer needed as now you have a ground line from the outlet. There should be 3 insulated lugs in the dryer, two hots and a neutral. Connect the red and black wires in your new cord to the hot lugs (red & black are interchangeable), and the white neutral to the neutral lug. Neutral is the center wire on your older 3-wire cord, for reference. Connect the green ground wire directly to the chassis of the sryer using a convienent screw. Use the four prong cord if you can. It is safer because it has the extra ground wire which older cords did not.
Can you tie the neutral wire on a sub feed to another panel to the main neutral lug?
no
