No, an inline image may not extend beyond the margins; it will be reduced in
size to fit between the margins (or indents). The paragraph mark does not
take up any space and will not be forced to the next line.
I have tested this, inserting an image into a paragraph with negative left
and right indents equal to the side margins. The image is initially inserted
at 21% (margin width) despite the indents (the same thing that happens if I
insert it into a paragraph without the indents). If I increase the image
width to 8.5", the image fills the page, and the paragraph mark is not
forced down.
