Printing Striped Sleeves..

You'll have a sizing issue

Rotary silkscreen on a bottle press would be the only way to really do it in one print, and yes flashing prior to oven would be needed. You'd also need a few sized mandrels and screens to account for different sized shirts and the sleeve diameters that change with them.

I've done all-around the collar prints in one pass, on a toilet seat shaped platen before, that works well, but loading/unloading is 5-10 times longer than a normal print.

Sleeve stripes would need to be cut and sew for any efficiency at all.

Like everyone has said so far your problem is sleeve size fitting on a pallet, but if I had to tackle this i would to this on a manual press (less cost on making pallets, plus they can be homemade) but I would make a pallet to fit large sleeves and one for small.  Lay then on the pallet and rotate the sleeve just a little so the top will overprint so once you print the other side it blends in, and I would not worry to much about printing over the seam under the armpit just close and lined up.  I would try my best to do this in one good medium hard print stroke flash and run thru the dryer and then repeat for the other side
