I think the 4ohm setting could handle both speakers without blowing up your amp...anything higher than that would be too much load for the head. But I always thought mixing impedance wasn't such a good idea though as the 8ohm speaker will draw more power than the 16 and put out way more volume...I don't think putting out mismatched powers to different speakers is good for the output transformer in the head, especially if it's valve.
Ideally you'd want two parallel 8 ohm speakers with the amp set to 4 ohms or two 16 ohm with the amp at 8 ohms. Might be possible to have the 16 ohm cab rewired to 8?
