The answer to your first question is No, you can't create a 16 mg by using
two 8 mg flash and run an IOS that requires for example 12 Mg, to do this,
you need to remove the 8 mg and buy a 16 mg or compress the image if you
have enough Dram, on the other hand, you can partition a 16 mg flash and use
it as two 8 mg flash.

As for the second question you can use the following commands to find
out.....

ERMINAL_SERVER#sh flash chips
8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)

   Chip Bank Code Size Name
    1 1 89A2 1024KB INTEL 28F008SA

You can do a 'show flash all' on most boxes to tell you what banks are
populated. No need to open the box :)
