Qatar 2 MotoGP Test Wednesday 4pm Times: Espargaro Brothers On Top

Unfortunately I think you are right in that sponsors would not allow the space, but I actually think that it would benefit sponsors too when their precious riders can be easily identified on track during races. Especially when they are standing out in recognisability in a whole group of riders with numbers you can hardly find, let alone read while they blast past.

Anyway, even within the room they use now for the 'creative' numbers, it would be very simple to make them easier to read. Better contrasting colours, no sticking together of numbers, no drawings in them, leave a bit of free space around them, etcetera. Or even better: having a uniform colour for all plates, like it used to be, would make it so much easier for your brain to lock on to and read it. I really think it would benefit everybody, from spectators to sponsors. And it would make the grid look more professional too, having official, uniform MotoGP number plates. Riders could still do something artistic on their helmets or leathers of course.
