MPO24 to MPO12 conversion

Okay, so we have a BT Ciena with an 100g MPO12 termination on it, and an ADVA we are trying to connect it to with an 100g MPO24 tranciver in it.

I know we can't just use an MPO24 cable and plug it into the MPO12 as the fibres don't line up. But I can't find a clear answer on if a 24 to 2x12 harness cable (and just not plug in one of the 12's) will still work? I my head it won't because the MPO24 will 10g per fibre pair and the MPO12's will be 25g per pair and that doesn't line up.

But am I just talking rubbish?
