It's a risk. Of the nicer damsels, yellowtails are one of the meaner ones
From what I've read, it's possible to do mixed damsels without issues, and saltnut's post above certainly gives hope that you could do it in a smaller tank (most people I've seen recommend 100+ gallons and/or unique tank setups).
In my very, unprofessional opinion, if you decide to try it, because they're all the same species I'd go with even numbers in the hopes that - if they get along normally - the aggression doesn't get too out of hand if they start breeding. That said, I've also seen 5+ damsels be the minimum recommended by at least one person who kept groups of damsels, so that may be something to keep in mind.

Keeping different kinds of damsel together?
I lost my beloved coral beauty a while ago, and I think it may finally be time for a replacement or two.. I've decided not to get another dwarf angel, since it would most likely not be able to live up to its predecessor. The CB was the most friendly fish I've ever had, always trying to hang out...

What's the critical mass for Damsels to start coexisting peacefully?
Looking at some Damsels, I'm wondering if there is a certain point where there are enough that they start playing nice, so to speak. I'd like to add 1 of each the following species to a 65G tank with 1 Springeri and 1 Cyanea: Traceyi Rollandi Talboti Parasema Hemicyanea This would be 7...

Damsel tank
It seems I've created a damsel dominant tank and mostly they all get on. For now. 3 chromis 2 ocelaris 1 3 spot domino 1 Azure 3 spot is the only one showing any real aggression towards the Azure.
