Yeah you can but then you pay a tax on free() because you have to do some dispatch to decide what algorithm you are using. The more algorithms the higher the tax.
Also, you want to make sure that the mallocs can share free pages with each other directly. Otherwise you will likely het higher peak memory overhead or worse perf or both.
