They would work together. Ram is very much like hard drives, doesn't really matter the brand and number of them. But you may miss out on Dual Channel Memory features.

Totally doable. Each channel will adopt it's own CAS latency matching the slower kit and the whole will run at 1600MHz.

I run completely different moduels myself, whilst i can't take advantage of dual channel, i still have a inexpensive 16gb kit of RAM now!
