Not exactly. What you will have is a mixture of two different viscosity's, but not an exact median of the two. It's all dependent on how the oil was refined. The lighter oil will not be as effective when the cars engine heats up and may result in a lack of lubrication when it needs it most.
Granted this really only makes a difference when you go to temperature extremes so in normal weather it should not make that much of a difference.
