I think it would go relatively smoothly. The issues are:

1) Very limited RJ flight times on the only OneWorld flight (approx. 6:30am departure)

2) You'd probably have to pay the same amount of money in terms of arranging the permit whether you stayed or transited -- so might as well stay a day or two.

Of course, if you don't care about seeing Khartoum and don't mind hanging out in the terminal all night (very limited facilities), you could probably arrive late at night and begin the xONEx in the early a.m.
