On first glance the video RAM address bus (SA....) is separated from the buffered address lines (BA....) by 3 * 74LS157 ICs, circuit sheets 7/8 here. The inputs to the 157s are on the BA... lines (so if your question is can the video circuitry drive the BA... lines - it doesn't seem so). And only BA0 to BA9 are involved, BA10 upwards don't go there.
