I don't know if this situation is hypothetical or real, but it really wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for a coach to do this even if he or she could. Let's say a coach submits a lineup with a libero #7 and a roster player #10 occupying the 4th position in the serving order and the coach knows the player wearing these uniform numbers is the same person. Since the player wearing #10 started the set, she can only occupy position #4 in the serving order. If at some point in the set the coach substituted #8 for #10 and #10 then put on libero jersey#7. Since the same player can't be two different people and she was already in the set as #7 in position #4 in the serving order, she can now play only back row and can only play back row in position #4 in the serving order.
If she started the set as the libero, she could play back row for anyone and serve in one position in the serving order. Since she did not start the set as the libero, she would be locked in to position #4 in the serving order. Essentially, she would be playing back row for herself.
