Can a document be partially primary and partially secondary?

No, because a primary documents are first-hand, while secondary documents are in the second-hand view. A source is either written by someone who experienced and witnessed or was apart of something first-hand, or heard about an experience and did research to create a well-informed document to make the source as reliable as possible. It can't be both written first hand and second.
