Can Maffoili Swift cord be spliced?
Yes it can. But it is not easy to make it nice and smooth. A good rigger can manage it. Personally - I am not that good!

depends on what splice you want.
Eye splice, no problem
Taper splice to a 12-strand, more difficult, but achievable
What are you looking for?
Can anyone recommend a good reference on splicing? I want to re-rig the front of the boat this year, and there's a fair bit of splicing in this picture. I'm interested not only in typical line slicing but I'd like to making a few line shackles, too, for winter projects.
Bought 2 pieces and was thinking about a end to end splice.
I am a big fan of the Brian/Bryan Toss rigging video's. They also sell a really cool tool that I think is awesome for those of us that are not super savy with splicing tools.
See this utube video to make a soft shackle.... http:/
End for end with SwiftCord is possible but the line will be MUCH larger where the splice is, and will have a hard time fitting through even large blocks.
A good enough rigger could reweave it. <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
Just kidding. Ian is a good rigger. I have even ordered things from him.

Even if one re-weaves it it will still be too large to fit through most blocks.
