Yes it can!

The docs: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/SearchReference/Commonstatsfunctions say this:

This function returns the X-th percentile value of the numeric field Y, where X is an integer between 1 and 99. 

However, the following works, and gives what you would expect it to give:

p(99.95) 

And 99.95% percentile appears!
