Sure.  I currently do practically all resizing in Elisp.

I have a simple C routine which traverses the window tree and checks
whether the proposed new sizes fit together and don't violate the
absolute minimum sizes.  If the test succeeds, I set the real sizes to
the proposed ones and assign the new top lines (or left columns).
Otherwise the resize operation fails.
