Would it being directional and smaller help reduce problems with trying to combine them?

Usually, no. If you are trying to use an unfiltered splitter in reverse as the combiner, your best hope for some success is to use identical antennas. Attempting to combine dissimilar antennas is wildly unpredictable due to the variations in gain and impedance of each.
If you can't 'sell' an axillary tuner or A/B switch, you may be forced to spend some money on tuned filters that cover the channels of interest. Tinlee.com can build a tuned combiner based on your specific situation. Custom solutions aren't free.
