Daily Questions About the Metallic Arts; Day 19

SpoilerAll Cosmere

Onto a general question (or short series of them), about the God Metals, which I have a personal opinion/thought process about for a purely selfish reason.

What are the logistical effects of alloying God Metals. For example, if I alloy Lerasium and Raysium, does that create an entirely new allomantically viable metal? If so, then does alloying Hybrid God Metals ('Dorium' or Harmonium for example) with another God Metal do the same? Finally within the same train of thought, would a God Metal Alloy (such as Malatium or one of the above alloys) also create an entirely new viable metal when alloyed with a 'new' god metal?

My personal opinion is that it shouldn't, that they should function as both 'sharing the same capacity of size'. Or, if for example, you alloyed a Cultivation Electrum alloy with a Trellium Electrum alloy, it would function as both Electrum alloys. All of this is not simultaneously for Feruchemy and Allomancy of course, as you could burn one and not the other. The reason for my idea of that is because otherwise, the combinations would be so incredibly numerous that we'd never get to see them all, which would end any dreams I have of a metallic arts compendium in the future. As stated, purely selfish reasoning.
