The resistences will be 2 of 0;5 wire diameter and the other 2 of o.36 wire diameter. I don't talk about ohms here only diameter of the wire
I am unfamiliar with anyone measuring wire like that. Usually referred to as gauge. Same principle applies, the current will run through whichever coil has a lower resistance. Larger diameter wire will have a lower resistance than narrower diameter, so in your case, the current flow will be through the 0.5 diameter wire. Thicker wire, lower resistance.
.5 = 24g
.36 = 27g
Depending on how many wraps etc you may find the 27g heating faster, you may also dry the wicks out faster on them which could lead to you burning them.
If i was to do this kind of build i would put the 27g coils closer to the deck where the juice is and have the 24g above them.
Current will split proportional to the resistance of each branch.
The least resistive path will carry the most current, but if other paths have a similar resistance they will carry a similar current.
The whole world except USA and GB uses the metric system...
I don't see why you want to build in different wires in the first place (care to explain?), but you can/should dry fire your build before wicking. You´ll see how the different coils heat up.
As long as none of the coils run dry and your wicking works, nothing will "overheat".
Coils can be designed for both wire sizes with the same heat flux at the same voltage. I'm doubting your reasoning for doing this if you do not already know that, but it should work. (To me, that's 3 coils too many no matter what wires you use 
)
