Robot crate construction question

Hi, I'm the leader of a rookie team and we've going to build our robot crate someday soon.

We looked for some stores that sell OSB plywood, and all of them sell it with maximum dimension of 35.8in x 71.6in (910mm x 1820mm). We'd like to build our crate as large as possible (meaning a little smaller than 4ft x 4ft x 5ft), but we see that cannot make it large as long as we build the crate with one piece for each side. Are we allowed to put two pieces of plywood together to make it a large piece? I know it'll have less strength...

Thanks!
