another speaker out ohm question (Mark II combo)

[mesa verde]

I have a Mark II combo but want to know if I can
plug in a 16 ohm cab into the 8 ohm speaker jack
and then plug an 8 ohm cab/speaker into the 4 ohm jack.
Yeah I know -- go ahead and try it -- but just because
something appears to work doesn't mean it is putting
a strain on either the transformers and/or power tubes.
So it is cool to plug into the main 8 ohm and just one of the 4 ohm
parallel with mismatching taking place ?
Thanks for any replies or insights.

You won't blow anything, but those cabs will not be equally loud when connected that way.
