ZZZZZZBlah blah blah..... who cares this isnt grade school. Yes he could over power his current igintion system. So yes it is possible to have to much spark. Doest matter if its the coil or the wires or the engine. Fact is MSD coils can create so much spark it will arch to whatever to next metal surface is.
In the end the answer is yes.

i am going to go out on a limb here.
i say you cant have too much spark as long as the whole system is up to par. if you upgrade to a huge coil and have wires that are falling apart you will arc on the engine.
same as building an engine, you have to eliminate the weakest link and build it as a system.
oh. and i do like my MSD 8.5mm wires.

I did alil research awhile ago when my genuine GM opti crapped out with only 3,000 miles on it and 100 miles or so after installing a msd 6al box and coil. While I'm not entirely sure the aftermarket components caused its failure, I did however find a few others out there that said the extra spark zapped their opti's shortly after the install of aftermarket ignition components.
