At the moment I have 2 12v batteries running fridge and 4 12v batteries running the rest of my camp -
If you have an actual 12/24v refrigeration unit. It will operate very nice on 24v, it will use half the amps and run a much shorter cycle. You will be glad you did, and wonder why you didn't to being with.Comment

You're not clear on what you want to do. So I'll guess
Running 2 arrays and charge controllers to 1 battery bank is doable as long as they are total within the charging specifications of the battery bank..
Adding the 2 batteries to the 4 batteries to create 1 bank will decrease battery life. Not good to mix new/old or different size batteries and multiple strings are not good for keeping the batteries balance.
