Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You won't have any problem if you put memory modules of different sizes. Moreover, you will keep Dual Channel, as you will have two modules of 4 GB and two modules of 2 GB, so this configuration is valid and you can use it if you wish.
The Mid 2011 iMac supports 16 GB of memory officially, but it can support 32 GB. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial
