Sir,
Yes, you can write a single WPS supported by two different PQRs with different welding processes, provided the following conditions are met as per ASME Section IX:

Code Reference:

ASME Section IX, QW-200.4(b): Attached for your
reference

You can combine 2 PQR's to form a WPS provided all essential variable & supplementary essential variables or same. In your case for combinin 2 processes, base metal and weld metal thickness range shall suffice.
