Good question! I'm not sure. The piranhas would at least need to be very well fed, otherwise nipping the fins is more likely, leading to eating it.
piranhas will eventually figure out how to flip it over and eat it's soft belly, according to the net.
I currently have 2 rbp's in with a pleco. They have grown up together and ive had no problems. They dont seem to bother with it to much and they've been together for about 7 months the piranahs are about 6 inches and the pleco is about 8-9 inches. Its all about luck. Ive never had luck with exodons with my piranahs...always seem to become lunch but others seems to work out.
There are a lot of threads on plecos and piranhas, and a thread about piranhas and tankmates in general. Theres a search function on the site that you can you use. However to give you a general conclusion... there are a few rare occasions that people have, but 99% it doesn't work at all.
i have had 1 pleco in with my 4 RBP for the past year with out any problems. i also added anouther one that is about 10" in there with them. i just make sure that the Pleco has a hiding place. i put 10" clay pots broken in 1/2 in my tank and they just go under them during the day.. no problems what so ever. but i also think my piranha are wussies....
I've had a 0% success rate with them 
. But the largest one I've put in was only 12-13" so if I can find like a 2 footer maybe it'll work.
