Can adjustable shocks be adjusted after they're installed?
Like the Bilstein 5100 series....
Could you crank on the adjusting nut after they've been installed, if you wanted to raise/lower the ride height?
Could it be done in place if you compressed the springs a little?
I don't need them just yet...
but Bilstein is running a 25% off sale till the 30th of this month!
Sux to be short on funds when there's a sale...

No, they can't. Only ones that could do that would be a top end shock like a Fox or King that has a large nut on the spring for that purpose.
The Bilsteins have a ring that holds the spring saddle in place and I highly doubt you could get to the spring to compress it, much less enough to move that ring.
