Yes, absolutely. But make sure that you agree to license your work
under GPLv2+ or a compatible license. So if I understand you
correctly, your whole project is less than 1000 lines of code and
documentation combined. In that case, a patch is more appropriate than
a package. But you then need to figure out where to patch against.

You can cite Robert to the effect that your code is based upon or
portions of which are adapted from his complex_plot code.
