One month after your post, I'm guessing the RIR's are the runts of the litter and not a real threat to the (slightly) younger chicks. If they are all healthy, I would put them together and let them establish that pecking order, which is constantly changing anyway.
I had two skunk attacks and lost everything but 9 Icelandics and 1 RIR and my 3 adults.
Skunks are dead, coop is better designed.
The RIR is the size of the 3 Icelandic Cockerals. She is picked on a bit by everyone. She is the most human friendly.
Yearling black bear has tried to get in the coop a few times, but gives up. Goes right through a hot fence with a big charger.
