Can you and should you are two different things.
Can you? Yes. It will 'work', too.
However, you really should swap out the entire set, unless you can match the pop-pressure on it.
If you've got unmatched pop-pressures, you get clattering or smoking(depending if it's too high or too low), less power, and a rough idle.
the issue is how much wear they have had -- a whole set will have even wear. A mixed set will have varying wear, and unlike, say, Powerstroke injectors, it's all mechanical and pressure-timed; varying pressure = varying timing.

You could have them pop tested though to make sure they are all close to each other.
