I am going to try some Danish Oil finish on my projects. I have some made out of 1/4" BB. Can I dip that in the oil or will it cause the plys to separate? Should I just wipe it with rag and try to get it in all the tiny holes and cuts as best as I can?

Just wipe it on with a rag, let it sit for a few minutes (15 minutes) and wipe it off. Let it dry over night before adding a top coat (if you intend to add a top coat).
It is not going to "soak in" as the top layer of plywood is very thin so any more coats is a waste of time and oil.
Dipping it is a waste of time and oil also. Don't worry about all the "little tiny holes" unless you want to take a cotton swab and spend a few minutes wiping the inside of holes in plywood. No one will ever notice or care if there are some "bare places" except you.
