Absolutely. As long as one mass is sufficiently larger than the other black hole.

I don't think the relative size matters. If they are equal mass, they can merge. Probably not likely to have two objects of that sort of mass in close proximity, but if that does happen, there is nothing in any theory that I am aware of that precludes them from merging into a single object.
