Is it possible to mix stacking method when I stack 2 switches 5520 (without VIM-4X) and 2 switches 5420 series switches using U1 and U2 port , using QSFT+ to QSFP+ cable between 5520 (SummitStack-V160) and special cable which converts QSFP+ to SFP-DD cable between 5520 and 5420 (SummitStack-V80)?

If it is possible do I have to write a special configuration in the Stacked Switches?
Thanks

As the document states, yes, it is possible.
You will need to set the appropriate stacking-support setting for each stack port.
configure stacking-support stack-port <stack-port> selection [native [V40 | V80 | V160 | V200 | V320 | V400] | alternate]
v80 for 20G
v160 for 40G
The special cable appears to be:
20G-DACP-QSFP1SFPDD1M - QSFP to SFP-DD, 20G, 1M
20G-DACP-QSFP1SFPDD3M - QSFP to SFP-DD, 20G, 3M
20G-DACP-QSFP1SFPDD5M - QSFP to SFP-DD, 20G, 5M
