Default Is it okay to mix clutch springs?

One of the 1.1mm springs shot off somewhere so I had to use one of the 1.0mm springs. Should my clutch be okay with (2) 1.1mm and (1) 1.0mm or is this bad?

I run 2 ali shoes and a carbon shoe, each ali shoe has a different spring (one has a 1.1, the other a 1) and the carbon shoe runs a 1mm spring. This way each spring engages at a different time giving a more progressive acceleration instead of a punch out of the corner.
