If it's a real SLI board with a full 16 lanes per slot, there
shouldn't be any problem sticking another card in the other 16x slot.
If however, it shares 16 lanes between both slots, most will give all
16 to one slot if only one card is installed.

But only way to tell is to try it, really. It almost certainly won't
break anything.
