what version of OSX are you using things have changed with APFS https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/309739/apfs-container-over-multiple-physical-disks#
I would concur with @Fishrrman that you’re slowing things down needlessly. Simply keep them separate and manage the data that you save to the HDD. Fusion is okay when it comes that way, but I would not complicate your build by doing it voluntarily.
Why do you ask - do you already have both drives?
I would avoid using a fusion drive. My mini had one and, over time, the mechanical one began to fail. In the case with a fusion drive, if either of them fails then you're in deep do-do.
After Apple confirmed my spinning drive was the issue, I opted to put two SSDs in my 2012 and have been extremely happy.

I’m with the others in joy recommending that. Both drives are good sized already. There is no benefit to combining them into a single volume.
