I dont see a problem with that. How big are the small mice?

Sure, that's no problem. Larger items are harder to digest anyway. You don't want them to be too small of course. Not that it's a problem, but it's a waste of food and money.

How often do you feed your snake normally?
I would either feed two hoppers, or if the small mice are weanlings, feed one, followed by the other at a shorter interval. So, if you normally feed your snake every ten days, I'd feed a weanling now, then again in a week, then look for medium mice to feed the third week, then return to normal. I wouldn't feed an adult at less than a seven day interval.

Some would argue that it's easier to digest two smaller meals than one large meal anyway. It shouldn't be a problem. The convenience of feeding one mouse is for you for the most part anyway

(I posted this in the wrong thread and sounded like a crazy person!)
I agree, but two 17-19 gram weanlings are a big step up from the average 24-26g medium mouse. Could cause a problem.
I like snakes that eat one thing- it's way more cost effective. But my Cali king likes her two or three hoppers...And Big Jake and Janine just don't fill up with one mouse.
