Is it acceptable for a solipsist to have multiple personality disorder, or would that be cheating?

1. Cheating implies that others have rules.

There are no others. Reductio ad absurdum.

4. Where do you get "others" from in your claim that cheating implies that others have rules?

My concept of cheating is a violation of whatever rules are relevant in the context of using the word "cheating."

For example, suppose that a solipsist goes on a special weight-loss regimen. Can the solipsist violate the rules of the regimen to an unlimited extent while remaining on the regimen and without cheating? I think that in ordinary language we speak of three possibilities: being on the regimen and strictly adhering to it; being on the regimen and cheating; and being off the regimen.

5. You have a concept of cheating, I have a concept of cheating.

They are irrelevant. What counts is the solipsist's concept of cheating, which is IMHO likely to be very flexible and "self serving."

So flexible as to make the Ten Suggestions seem indulgent.

2. In true Dissociative Identity Disorder, the denial of others is a given

That would mean solipsism is a protective mechanism.

3. As long as you don't give yourself any social diseases, I see no problem with it.

6. As a true solipsist, I gave myself an antisocial disease once. n/t
