It's not possible, but it almost was.
In 2001, Wizards added this bit of errata:
The creature type of the tokens created by Splintering Wind has changed from Splinter to Sprite to prevent an unintended and strange interaction with the Splinter sorcery.
They don't say what the interaction actually is, but there's a good chance that it was related to the card Retraced Image (which would be released in Torment about 6 months later), which read
Reveal a card in your hand, then put that card into play if it has the same name as a permanent in play.
In the absence of rules 304.4 and 307.4, this would allow you to put the (Sorcery) card Splinter into play if you had a Splinter token in play. Which is, as they say, "an unintended and strange interaction."
I have not been able to find any evidence as to whether or not rules 304.4 and 307.4 (which put the kibosh on these sorts of shenanigans) existed at the time. They certainly existed in 2006, when Time Spiral reprinted Splintering Wind and reerrataed the tokens to be Splinters again.
