Since the GEDCOM format is a standardized format created by FamilySearch it will be possible to import it into any genealogy system, with the only issue being the ability of the originator to create extra structures with the GEDCOM format. In practice that would not be a problem since Legacy would normally place this into a Notes record against the person etc.
I would follow the process of importing each file, independently, into new Lagacy files. Since that will probably raise various issues you would need to note how you configured the import and then what you need to change before you rerun it. Once you have the files back into Legacy you will need to check through the details to ensure that it is valid. Then you can look at whether they are valid and whether you need to merge them together or back into your own files.
