Yes, of course -- for writing to 2-layer DVD you must have DVD-writer
which support this ability.

Network installation may be useful for you as a quick solution:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-begininstall-perform-nfs-x86.html

You just need place distribution to NFS, FTP or HTTP server and use one
of boot images for CD, USB or PXE placed at "images" folder of DVD-image
or from scientificlinux.org:
