I plant clematis together all the time. It's easier to keep the same pruning type together but other than that your creativity is the limit. I have mixed types, but I keep very detailed records and refer to them before I start cutting.
In my experience you can plant them within 10 inches of each other in the ground and their roots will spread in opposite directions and do fine. I have planted two together in half barrels; they did fine the first two years and then needed more room so I had to transplant them.
In my experience clematis are very hardy and hard to kill.
