I see red flags with this configuration...There is no device that I know of that will allow coupling of the Low VHF to an antenna that is carring high V and UHF. This may be a problem.

The HLSJ will work.

I would rather see you use the yagi for UHF only and an antenna that is cut for channels 2-13.

2-13 antennas? If you can still find a WG HD5030, then you can do that. Otherwise, I don't know of any 2-13 antennas still in production. Using an all-channel antenna with a UVSJ and discarding the UHF from it in favor of the UHF signals from the big Yagi is about the only alternative remaining.
The 91XG isn't recommended for VHF, but it isn't completely blind on the high-VHF band for short ranges. I can't argue with his reception of 7-13 since it happens to be working.
If you do the V4/91XG, I'd suggest 4' physical separation between the booms of the antennas. If you are currently amplifying the 91XG's but do not need to amplify the V4's signal, you're going to need to keep the V4's signal separate from the coax that carries the pre-amplifier power - IOW, you cannot combine using the HLSJ until AFTER the pre-amp's power inserter.
One way or another, there will be compromises.
Edit: I see the CS600 was suggested. I'd forgotten about it - it's a good suggestion to go with the 91XG via UVSJ. Don't forget to order a balun transformer with it.
