Can I use rods with different numbers?

[D0kt3r]

Collecting some second hand parts here for a poor mans stroking kit.

I have a ITR Crank (Second Hand)
ITR pistons (Second Hand)
2 ITR Rods Number 24 (Used)
1 ITR Rod Number 23 (brand new)
2 GSR Rods Number 3 (Used)
3 GSR Rods Number 2 (Used)

As Title, Can I mix rods with different numbers or is it highly recommended to get a full new set rods?
Or should I just get 1 rod number 2 to complete a full set GSR rods # 2?
I can get a good deal on Eagle forged rods with ARP bolts, but someone told me that I can't use Eagle rods with OEM P73-00 pistons. Is this true?

I have brand new standard size KING rod and main bearings + thrust washer and brand new Nippon Racing 81mm piston rings.

Plastigage the rods today and I am in between 0.0008" and 0.0028"

If I can combine the rods, how should I do it.

FOR EXAMPLE:
Pistons number 1 and 4 with GSR rods number 2, and Pistons number 2 and 3 with GSR rods number 3?

OR

Pistons number 1 and 2 with GSR rods number 2, and Pistons number 3 and 4 with GSR rods number 3?

I would use a matching set for weight and harmonics; to be better matched up weight wise.

I thought about this also as balancing comes in equal weight.
