Assuming a tablespoon of each have equal weights of 16 grams, 1 tbsp of 5-1-1 plus 1 tbsp of 0-10-10 gives you two tablespoons of 2.5-5.5-5.5. Mixing that into 1 gallon of water gives you about 210 ppm N, 460 ppm P, and 460 ppm K.
At once per month feeding, I don't believe this will burn your plants in the short term. However, this is not a good approach to feeding your bananas. I would keep the 5-1-1 and save the other for ornamental flowers (or once two months after planting potatoes, if you happen to grow them). The basic problem is there is too much phosphate for bananas. Instead complement your 1 tbsp 5-1-1 fish with 1/2 teaspoon Sul-Po-Mag. Shake the gallon thoroughly and let sit for an hour before applying.
Alternately, you could buy Fruit Fuel from "crazy banana" on this site as a one-bag solution.
