Can I do two workouts in one day if I'm splitting between upper and lower body?

So long as each muscle group is getting adequate time for recovery and you're also allowing for overall central nervous system and systemic recovery, you will be fine.  Body part splits are really a matter of choice and you ought to experiment over time to see what different combinations do for you. 



You might even try working the same body part two or three days in a row and then allow a week or more to recover.  We used to call that "over reaching."  As long as you allow plenty of time to compensate and grow after the super-stimulus, you will improve, assuming overall rest and nutrition are adequate.
