Summing Scale Inputs

Is it possible to have two scales on an axis and combine them? I.e. a glass scale on a mill quill used for positioning feedback on that axis (Z) and a glass scale on the non-motorized knee acting as a W axis being combined so that moving the knee up or down changes the Z axis position on the DRO.

If that is possible, do both scales have to be the same resolution, or can the quill be 1um and the knee scale be 5um?
