Simple answer: Yes.
Just select piano on Upper part and do KB split upper recieve (there are some settings to get right, but no rocket surgery), and You'll be able to play a full 88 keys piano on the MIDI board. The piano sounds have 88 keys regardless of the NE5 number of keys.
You'll also be able to select Organ on both Upper and Lower part, with different drawbar settings on each, and play them simultaneously as a 2 manual organ (playing the Upper part from the MIDI board).
(Word of warning: No, it's NOT possible to use B3+Bass and get the Bass on Upper part, if You place your MIDI keys below the NE5.)
There is also a nice glitch when layering sounds, let's say a piano on Lower and strings sample on Upper, that if You play on the NE5 keys you get the layered sound, but if You play on the MIDI board You only get the Upper sound, in this case the strings.
This makes for some interesting variations of layered sounds without patch changes, to be able to let the piano ring out and continue to play the strings for an interlude. Or why not vice versa if You put Piano on Upper instead.

To the OP, its a good compromise. I use the 88 keys of my CP4 to play the Stage2EX76 for most things piano. Its a great combo
