Substituting with parallel resistors

So, I'm building the Smoothie and I don't have any 470k resistors. If I were to stack two 1m resistors together bringing it to 500k, would that work as a substitute? I would need to do this on R10, R11 and R14. Are there any negatives about fudging the numbers this much?

I would need to do the same for the 3m9. I have a 10m and a 4m7, bringing it to 3m12. Would that work better over just using a 4m7 as a substitute?

That should work, sounds like a lot of hassle for that many. I'd just order more and resist the urge to make it happen today.
