Mike: I've unzipped a patch to a mount point different from /oracle (again for space constraint considerations) and installed from there. It was a separate stage, since the stage directory was created as part of the unzip process.
I just pointed the OUI to that mount point/stage when I installed. Worked fine. Good luck!
