You can't, directly.
We use a shell script "sp" to start sqlplus anyhow, and can easily insert a global login.sql file there:

#!/bin/sh
#
# sp - start sqlplus with a login environment

REM GLOGIN - global login for all users
SET PAGESIZE 66
DEFINE _EDITOR = emacs -nw
START &1/.login.sql Received on Thu Nov 10 1994 - 14:14:17 CET
