You can add two different kits of ram together without problems.

Usually, but it's better to buy the same kit again if possible. Mixing RAM can sometimes cause instability and even data corruption (I've personally experienced this). But yes to answer your question OP, it should work just fine.

For example; if I have a 2 X 8 16GB RAM kit already in my PC can I put a 2nd 2 X 8 16GB RAM kit in with it if its the same make and model?

Yes, just double check the timings using CPUZ, you wouldn't want one set of ram being bogged down by another. If it is the exact same ram kit, you should be fine though.

If you match speed, timings, and latency, you should have no problems.

Yes, but be aware there is still a chance that they will not work together, though it is small.
