Depends on the people you're RPing with. Sometimes they'll let you use a puppet, more often they won't.
it entirely is up to people's RP policies/"customs". Some nations, including me, wouldn't really mind (unless you are actually also taking advantage of the other "combined" puppet militarily or economically), while some others ignore puppets with main nation altogether. Other nations, however, do use puppets, but they don't really take advantage of them militarily.
So, I'd say you could conduct a poll or some sort.

Usually if your puppet nation is supporting you in something like a war, you'll get ignored.
Explain what is happening to the people (or person) your RPing with, and maybe a deal can be worked out.
