There is no reason, provided the chains have been subject to a similar amount of use, and they are very similar in sizes, that you can't mix two chains. The important thing is to ensure you use a good quality joining link/snaplink. Most of these are made to fit any generic chain in whatever size is applicable, in yours presumably 1/8th. As such there is no reason you will have a weak point as joining links are expected to work on any chain. The weakness usually comes from poorly rejoined chains, as long as the join is secure the chain will be fine.
