Using a similar system, the Google hit count: overrideable: 26,900 overridable: 339,000 overridden: 2,280,000 Which agrees with my intuition that you can get away with overridable, but it's much more common to just use overridden. "override" of course comes from "ride" (181,000,000). A horse can be ridden (10,500,000) if it's ridable (82,500). The bad news: rideable (201,000). http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ridable shows rideable as the preferred spelling, but accepts both.
