Give us some info, what driver? What are the electrical specs of the boards?
hlg 480 48A, really the difference between the boards is the wider board and space between diodes

You wont get even coverage since the skinny boards concentrate the spread. Electrically it could well work: both boards are based on 16 diode strings. Question is are the diodes really the same? Voltage bin and all?
Not sure how I could check, when my new boards come in I could compare
Boards came in a min ago, went ahead and wired some of them up for my veg area, been almost a month and so far it’s going well haven’t noticed any issues so far. Now I’m about to do a big No no and use 6 300 36v boards with 1 132 36v board. I made a 8ft monster fixture. I have a 600 driver and 320 driver to use. And with 22 boards the closest I can get for even wattage with a goal of 900 watts spread across the board at max during flower requires 7 boards to be on the 300 driver and the left over boards to be wired with the 600 driver. Before I fully comment I’m going to run the number with using 6 boards and with the max of the 600a driver being 670 watts I’ll see if that extra 70 can give some flex to where I can use the 6 300 boards on the 320a driver
