Hypothetically speaking if someone had lost the paper counterpart of their licence and was too tight to spend £20 on a replacement but knew that a change of address was free would it possible to change the address from for instance:

20 blah street

to

20A blah street

Or would it just not show up on an address database and not work?

I'm not sure about that. Why not change it to a friends address then change it back after couple months.

Would it matter that the person in the hypothetical situation was only getting the paper part back to do their driving tests? Would they need any ID with addresses on it for their driving tests? Could also look a bit dodgy for this person to have a licence registered at one address and vehicles insured and registered to another address if they ever got pulled by the police.

I would advise the person in the "hypothetical situation" but it was 6 years ago that I did my bike test and it's all changed now anyway and I've yet to do my car test (Shifty) so I'm not sure!

There is no stipulation on how long you need to be at an address for you to need to change licence details ,so..........change to a mates as youve had a split with mum/missus and change back 2 months down line,this works Thumbs Up

You post it off to them to change your address, then after a few weeks when you haven't heard anything from them you call them to ask what's happening, they'll say that it's not arrived at which point you say "oh. it must have got lost in the post" and that's good enough for the dvla.

You can change address details online, it takes about 10 minutes to do hence scheming! You're supposed to send your old licence back in but I've never sent any of mine back, just shredded and thrown them out.
