Cut all the percentages in half. Those are likely the original percentages for each recipe, but combining them, you'd want to halve all the amounts. 
That recipe sounds really good! I have one like that, too, a caramel cupcake recipe that didn't turn out as wonderful as I thought it would (it was a little bland) that I combined with a strawberry cupcake recipe, and the combination of the two was fabulous! I still need to sit down and recalculate all the flavor percentages, and the list of flavors ended up being as long as Kenna's! LOL! It looks intimidating, but hey, if it's good juice, then it makes it worth the time, eh?

I know! Lower the percentages if you choose. I may do so later but this was a mix of 2 recipes, & something I kinda stumbled over remember. I'm afraid to change anything, it might not be as good. I've not been able to walk into a B&M & use the house juice's, or many of the less expensive juices found online. Flavor is what keeps me from smoking. Custards seem to be the extent of my flavor profile even after a year & a half. vaping & DIY are not only a harm reduction step, but a cost cutter for me, because those "premium" juices are expensive. So, having stumbled over it, & made my first deliberately made bottle, which is aging right now, I may make changes later. Feel free to do so yourself. But if you are vaping the contents of your dump bottle & loving it, exactly what percentage of flavor do you think that is?Is that 57% flavor???
But the flavors are not the same between the 2 recipes. So halving will not work. The only flavors that appear in both recipes are VC & Caramel. VC is 8% in one & 3% in the other. Caramel is 2% in one & 3% in the other. The other ingredients only appear once in one or the other but not in both. Nothing was doubled except the the total percentage of flavor. I made 10ml of each recipe. I had just over a ½ of each left when I dumped them together, so the percentages of flavors did not change. It worked. Try it, play with it, or just walk away. I'm going to continue playing with it. Once I see how this batch turns out I might decrease the PB, &/or Cake Batter. Or leave out the Whipped Cream, &/or TDC, which alone would decrease % by 9.5. But until I see if I have duplicated that dump accident I.m not changing a thing.
OMG. Now I'm gonna be known as the dummy who put 57% flavoring in a mix. Makes me wish I'd used a fake name. If you want the recipe to play with it write it down now because it might be going away.

If it was equal parts of the 2 juices, each juice is only half of the volume of the final mixture, so halving the %'s will get you the same result. Or just mix the 2 juices and dump them together again. You're not a dummy if you found a tasty mix! 
I'm working on a tobacco vape right now that has
Inawera gold ducat 3%
FA 7 leaves 2%
Hansen tab blend 2%
TFA pistachio 2%
Taste great in a dripper..it taste almost like vapenw sasquatch.
Taste very muted in a tank though sadly

I love the Gold Ducat. That stuff is awesome. I accidentally topped off a tank of it with Hangsen Arabic yesterday. It's a surprisingly good combo.
See gold ducat by itself is really good because it's so complex already..the 7 leaves adds kind of a spice to it
The tab blend doesn't add much in a lemo..
In a dripper it's amazing though
I'm not a huge fan of the 7 Leaves. It does add something to other tobaccos though. I use it in a Bourbon RY4 mix.
I wish I could just get a juice that works for me...I,have over 30 flavors and still have just bland juices...
If you like RY4's, take any plain jane or nutty tobacco you have and add some vanilla and caramel. I don't think Gold Ducat would be a good one, but FA 7 Leaves would. Try like 5% 7 Leaves, 2% VC, and 2% Caramel. If you have some bourbon, add about 5 drops per 10 ml to perk it up a lil bit.
I have some FA brandy.
Would that work?
Also I have FA carmael,FA butterscotch,TFA vanilla swirl,caps vc v2 , FA vienna cream
My best RY4 is:
5% FA Royal
5% FA 7 Leaves
3% Vanilla Swirl
3% TFA Caramel
Royal has a light minty thing to it. For a change, I add 5 drops TFA Kentucky Bourbon.
Never tried the Brandy flavor, so I can't say, and I don't know how the %'s would translate to use your FA caramel, etc. But the Vanilla Swirl and Caramel with 7 Leaves should get you in the ballpark of a good RY4.

When you combined the two, you doubled the total volume so you'll still need to half the percents in each recipe then combine any like flavors for the new mix.
For the VC, for example, you'd add 4% and 1.5% for 5.5% for your new mix. Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.
Oh and also, that means your total flavors was half of 57% also, because each recipe contributed 50% or half of the total volume. I've seen lots of recipes at 30 percent and above and as others have said, as long as you like it, that's all that matters anyway.
