I would not risk keeping them together.

No, you can't keep them together. Unless the 7mth old one is the size of a hatchling then you must not keep them together. Once one beardie is larger than the other by as little as 1cm or more (SVL) you are risking the larger one doing some serious injury to the smaller of the two.
Think of it this way, if the hatchling beardie would quite comfortably go down the older ones throat - don't do it!
