Most will say no, however i think for a short distance at low speed it will be fine.
The owners manual even states that the car can be towed with two wheel for IIRC a maximum 30miles at 30mph. I think it puts a LOT of heat into the TORsen which can damage it. So for limping home with an slightly odd sized wheel on due to a puncture I think this will be perfectly fine - the open diffs will soak up the inconsistency.
If you have a rear TORsen you'd need to be more careful - but of course you could swap the wheels round so you had matching pair on the rear
Otherwise you can use a tyreweld kit, although i have read that these can write off the tyre even if it is a repairable puncture.
Do what I do, I carrie a Audi pump and tyre sealant. Plus if the overall circumference is the only out by a 3% you'll be fine with the 17" wheel and tyre.

ABS will probably turn itself off, which is no great problem.

We use these all the time at work, had one in a Back tyre on a 1000cc Yamaha and ran the tyre till the tread was finished. Great little kit. The mechanic drove his car to France and back with two in one tyre, stupid maybe, but it held out.
