 Pile Info
Jointed piles are usually not prestressed, and as each unit is a shorter length (generally up to 15 m), handling stresses are much lower, and there is less danger of over-stressing.
The joint must be as strong as the pile, and preferably have the same moment of resistance.
An advantage of a hexagonal pile cross-section is a slightly better distribution of stress along the pile section during driving, and possibly less susceptibility to damage from torsional stresses.

The top of the piles have been considered to be connected with a rigid pile cap such that when under uplift load each of the piles undergo the same vertical displacement.
The piles under vertical load are mostly used for heavy structures where the lateral load acting on the pile is considered to be negligible.
The piles can be provided as an individual unit or it can be provided as a group depending upon the uplift resistance to be carried by the piles for the stability of the structure.

 Pile Info
Damage as a result of "overdriving" manifests itself in "brooming" of the pile head, cracking of the shaft or damage to the pile tip (which may be difficult to detect).
Particular care should be taken to make sure that the pile heads are square, that the hammer blows are axial to the pile, that the pile is properly set up in the leaders, and not strained to bring it vertical after a bad start to the drive.
In the case of marine or river structures, the immersed portions of the piles are liable to attack by marine organisms.

The comments reflect that the soil and pile should be in intimate contact for the best desirable performance related to capacity etc. However, I am not sure that the lateral capacity will be adversely affected even if the bore allowed you to drop the pile in the hole as a snug fit.
Effective stresses at pile shaft-soil interface and the zone of influence resulting from pile installation are worthwhile considerations that still pose difficulties in design and anticipated performance.
The piles will be 45 feet long and derive no fricional resitance from the upper 30 feet - actually this upper layer creates significant downdrag and a very large moment due to about 15 feet of the hydraulic fill and surface crust being subject to lateral spreading.
