Yes, they can disjoint their jaws allowing them to open much wider than the normal diameter of their body and their body is very elastic. If the thing is too long to completely swallow at one time the snake will slowly swallow it over a period of days, digesting the part already swallowed while other parts have not yet been swallowed.

Usually not, but it does happen Since snakes can't chew, or bite chunks off, they're limited to swallowing their prey whole. So it needs a bigger-than-average snake, and/or a smaller-than-average deer for it to happen.
