The phrase "allowed to overlap" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where two or more elements are permitted to share common space or characteristics.
Example: "In this design, the colors are allowed to overlap to create a more dynamic visual effect."
Alternatives: "permitted to intersect" or "authorized to coincide".
Two fragments are allowed to overlap only if (i) the overlapping region is shorter than half the length of the smaller fragment, (ii) there are no alignment gaps in the overlapping region and (iii) the backbone RMSD of the overlap is lower than 1 Å.
The geometry of the discretization and crystal are allowed to overlap arbitrarily.
However, each circle isn't allowed to overlap, and so pushes other circles away so all electorates are visible.
But using some new rules based on the chemical and physical relationships of atoms, the decagons can be allowed to overlap.

These experimental designs, however, only allowed to identify overlap in both sensory processing streams but no interaction of visual and haptic texture processing.
Although not qualitatively different from the fifth collapse step (described in the paragraph to follow), which allowed sequences to overlap only partially, the full-overlap requirement provided numerous algorithmic advantages over the equivalent operation allowing overlaps.
Default parameters were used in the feature summations except that reads were allowed to be assigned to overlapping genome features.
