This is possible only if the host server has that much memory available with it, however it is always best not to use the burstable memory unless it is emergency.Bursted memory are not guaranteed but it can be allocated to any VPS that may need it as long as it is available on the box at that time. So as long as those resources are available, as a user you can be able to go over that limit of guaranteed RAM.

While looking for VPS server you should make proper analysis of the memory availability considering the VPS provider that work to make sure that an ample amount of burst resources are always available on each host machine. In case if your VPS constantly requires greater resources than your allocated guarantees memory, you should upgrade your account.
