What happens if I add a plug-in for a dissector that already is statically

There is no guarantee of any particular outcome. It depends on the
mechanism the dissectors use to register themselves, and the way those
mechanisms happen to be implemented in any particular version of Wireshark.
If you have improvements for a dissector, you should replace that
dissector directly, and send us the improvements so we can put them into
the main Wireshark release.
