I wouldn't mix them. Reason is that you remove/replace the carbon on a regular basis and you only top up the pellets as needed. It would be a real mess trying to do that.
I would either use a second reactor for the carbon, or just run them in bags passively.

As phi delt reefer mentioned the proper flow for each is different. You'll want a slower amount of flow through the carbon so that they don't tumble which would cause them to grind together and release dust into your tank. However with the pellets you do want them to tumble so that they don't fuse together into a solid mass.
