No. You'll stress the hell out of the yeast. You don't have a second packet?
I'd use two packets if I were you.
Assume 10 gallons of IPA, you need 350B cells or so for a 1.050 beer (according to MrMalty).
Assuming your other yeast is an American Ale yeast, if you pitch the US-05 (~200B) as well as the vial of whatever liquid yeast you have (~100B), you're close enough to probably be just fine.

if anything could do it, one pack of us-05 could. I bet you get the same results pitching one pack of safale on 10 gallons that you would get piching one packet of unstarted wyeast on 5.

I think he means he's going to make a starter with the 05. For ten gallons I'd probably split the packet in half and make two separate starters. Or else one fairly large one.
