I have a netbook, a flash drive (512MB), and an SD card (512MB) and the Ubuntu netbook edition is 696MB, is there any way I can put half of the installation on the flash drive and the other half on the SD card, and get it installed?

As got answered in "Is there an iso of ubuntu under 512MB?", Ubuntu minimal is very likely to be a better solution to this problem.
You should try with the Minimal Cd Image. Choose the platform you want and make a booteable USB Drive with the image. The installation will download all the required and updated files to install whatever linux distribution you want in the platform you choose. It takes longer, since all the data is downloaded from the internet, but at the end you wont need to update your fresh installation.

Probably, yes, using LVM, that will allow you to create a logical volume that uses your two physical volumes.
