Adding to an existing mash ?

I tried a 2.5 gal. grain recipe two days ago and its doing fine. Now after seeing how its turning out I wished I went ahead and did the full 5 gal. to fill my ferment bucket. I was wondering if I can put together another 2.5 gal and pour it in with my existing ferment?

corn maize
malted barley ( 2 row )
flaked rye
brown sugar
corn syrup
distiller yeast

If I can add to the existing that has already been working for a few days, how will that affect my ferment time and will I have to add more yeast ?

it will be like starting all over,posably a bit shorter as yeast is active.
