Even spread out you can reduce the total output of each if they are reinforcing each other. If they are lighting different parts of the scene then not so much. But you could pick up another pair on top of that one - then gang them.

You could also just double the number of flashes and reduce the power output of each by half.

The AF360 series has a guide number of 36, the RF60x has a guide number of 60. So you have about 1 2/3 stops more light with the RF60. You can adjust the power down by a stop from 1/16 to 1/32 and lower ISO by 2/3rds or any combination of similar things. Be forewarned it isn't a perfect solution since the position and zoom affect the effective light on the subject - assuming you get most everything on the money it will be close. However a pair of RF60x's is probably a better solution than mixing the flashes. In theory you can setup your V6 (at least with version 1 in the pseudo manual mode) triggers to compensate for flash differences and try to dial in the compensation needed. But it's typically easier to do without that complexity.

Number of expected shots over time is unclear. If your school is small enough you may be ok if you have sufficient batteries but a mains powered studio lighting setup is probably a good idea an option you can use if you need it. Making that work with the v6 triggers may be an issue. While having identical gear is best if you are comfortable enough and have enough options to use the crop as a backup to the K-1 I don't think it is essential as I suspect this is being done on a shoestring budget.
EDIT:
Personally if your pace and number of shots per minute is within range I'd just get more batteries if you think this can be done with the flashes you know already.
