If you mean combine as in intermix sequentially, that makes sense because the events in the two books are concurrent. If you mean combine two enormous books into one season, then that doesn't make much sense. They'd be cutting something like three quarters of the material in the books if they do that. Even cutting half of everything means there's no way that the episodes dedicated soley to book 6 begin before season 7.
My guess is we continue to see more and more things that don't happen or aren't shown in the books, which is probably going to stretch out the time we spend with books 4 and 5, rather than shorten it. Sort of the way they handled the wall and Brienne last year. Rather than cut things, they added new things to provide additional action.
