Non-elegant method....
The original explosion sprites were in an IFF with a resolution of 320x580 taking up 93kb, this gave me 25 64x116 sized sprites - most of which were empty. So due to the clipping problem I ran into, I halved the sprite sheet size into 64x58 and got rid of the blank sprites as a result. The only problem was I had to duplicate some sprites, but it still resulted in a chip memory saving of around 10kb.
I might revisit it and see if I can manipulate the control words, but my original multiplexing problem still stands which I need to figure out.
See attachments for the explosion graphics and what I did with them.
