I only have a 16, a 24, and will soon have a 32. Is it risky to do two-handed farmer's walks with different weights per hand? Assuming alternating hands throughout the routine?

It's fine.
A common farmer's walk variation is suitcase style (one KB held at the side like a suitcase, with nothing on the other side), which is a more extreme imbalance. When the weight is not symmetrical, you will feel it in your obliques (a good thing).
About @Stefan Olsson's suggestion - be mindful to change from overhead to rack and from rack to suitcase in plenty of time - better to do this a little too early than a little too late. Also good to do this outside or in a place where you can easily dump the kettlebell if you hang onto one position too long.

I do it when she is not at home because she thinks I am crazy, and I am going to damage something.
A fine idea.I've been wondering about a few minutes of overhead carries after some of my S&S sessions to strengthen the TGU lockout.
