I believe when GRRM starting writing book 4 it had all our POV characters in it, but it started to get too big for one novel so he had to split it into book 4 and 5. It was GRRM's choice to keep some of the POV characters entirely out of book 4, but both books occur with overlapping times. So it really shouldn't be a problem for HBO to handle it.
I'm sure the majority of the Brienne POV stuff can be compressed down to a very small air time amount (really only covering the few major plot points that come of her countryside journey with Pod).
