There is no "chronology" problem, they're just going to continue to show things that happened "off screen" in the books, i.e. the Renly, Loras, and Margaery stuff which was "off screen" in the books. I think it would have more impact NOT to show it at all, or at least, to let the audience think he's dead by the end of this season (in the books, when they give him a piece of Theon's flayed skin, a lot of readers assumed this meant they'd totally flayed and killed Theon). Thus I think Theon should be utterly absent from seasons 4 and 5.
