Not recommended. It may be theoretically possible but definitely not a good idea. They have very low internal impedance so large currents could flow between the cells. Some claim this is not a problem. I wouldn't want to find out the hard way unless it was essential to my application. Google
nimh parallel for a wide range of views.
Also remember that your proposed NiMH HT battery is capable of producing very high currents compared to a dry battery. I would strongly recommend a fuse.
