Yes, if you have 4 banks of memory, at least DDR3 and with 3 modules of 4Gb and one of 8Gb, or two of 8Gb and one of 4Gb.
Or with two banks of DDR4 and a module of 16Gb and one of 4Gb.
On boards with 8 banks of memory there are many more combinations to get to 20Gb.
In any case neither option would be good, because only the exponents of 2 with modules in pairs or groups of 4 give the maximum speed to the memory on the motherboard.

It is possible if you have a maximum capacity of 32gb with two slots, then you can have one 16gb and one 4gb memory installed.
You can also have 4 slots and have 2 occupied with 8gb and one with 4gb, there are various combinations in this case.

Yes, with one 8GB module and three 4GB modules, or two 2GB and two 8GB modules. Or other combinations like 16 and 8. As long as the motherboard supports 20GB of RAM or more in total. If it only has two modules and leaves 16GB on each one you could put 16 and 4. If you give me an 8GB module I would put 20GB on this computer.

You cannot install an unlimited amount of memory on your computer. Each chipset supports a certain amount of memory, so in some cases the motherboard limit will be 16GB of RAM, in others 32GB or more than 64GB. It all depends on the motherboard of your computer.
In simple words yes, you can put up to 128gb always put that amount for servers ect

Although possible, you may lose some performance. It's best to install memory in pairs, if you have slots for that. For example, if you have two slots, you can fit two banks of 16GB, making 32GB in total.
But if you only have one slot, you can only fit the capacities of each memory bank. Of course, if you have a motherboard with integrated video, the amount available for the operating system will be less.
