Would it have ever been plausible for the Spanish and Dutch to go to war with each other in Southeast Asia?

Basically, I am wondering if it is possible for the Spanish and Dutch to fight each other in Southeast Asia so that one of them--plus whatever allies there are--decisively defeats the other one and then gradually proceeds to unify Indonesia and the Philippines under a common flag.

Anyway, any thoughts on this?
