SP metadata that supports both sha1 and sha2?

Maybe it would help if I rephrased things.

We have two pieces of SP metadata for Gartner - both using the same
entityID, and the same endpoint URLs.
One metadata file is signed using sha1, and includes certificate A.
The other metadata file is signed using sha256, and includes certificate B.

Is it possible / correct / valid to combine both pieces of metadata into a
single EntityDescriptor entry that contains both that sha1 and sha256
signatures (and the certs used to generate them)?
