Quite possible, even including the Kraków region. But it would be called Západoslavi[ea].
Just make Central Powers win WWI, thus no Greater Poland, and later A-H violently disintegrates.

Hmm, Czechoslovakia having an exclave in Spanish territory? That would be certainly taking a leap of faith on the part of . . .
. . . oh, right, the other Galicia.
The only way I'd see that happen is if Czechoslovakia had a truly federal constitution to begin with and not the unitary state that was in place during the First Czechoslovak Republic. Also, if both the Ukrainian nationalists and the Czechoslovak government want it - the former if the West Ukrainian People's Republic feels that it would be better off looking towards Prague rather than becoming independent (which would certainly ease tensions with both Ukrainian nationalists and the Polish majority in Lvov - which it should be mentioned that both were among many ethnicities and nationalities living in that city, Czechs and Slovaks included; the former if Prague is willing to allow cultural autonomy to the West Ukrainian state (which largely covered the Ukrainian-majority eastern Galicia, IIRC) within a federal system, as long as its population had some basic command of both Czech and German. Western Galicia would be more problematic, IIRC - maybe if Prague decided to integrate the Lemko Republics on what would eventually become Polish territory as its own. (Would also mean a delicate balancing act between Ukrainians and those who consider themselves Rusyns, and it could just well work.) What this would basically be, in this radical reconstruction of the Czechoslovak state, is the creation of a Central European Switzerland from Bohemia to Galicia, which would be very interesting to see in action.
Not with these borders. Germany would take all the German land at the bare minimum.
More likely all of Czechia, and then combine Krakow with their Poland state and split Halych between Poland and Ukraine.
