I currently have a RAID 10 (6x 2TB) running in an Intel IMSM container ("fakeraid", firmware RAID) on Ubuntu 16.04 on an ASUS H170M-PLUS (Intel H170 chipset).

I'm using all 6 SATA ports on the MOBO and want to add a PCIe JBOD controller and add the disks on that to the IMSM container.

Is this a possibility? Will the Intel Rapid Storage firmware add disks from a different controller?

Yes, you can do that. However for anything being pretty decent (ZFS or Storage Spaces) you don't want any fake RAID. Go for simple HBA (LSI has ones for sure) passing disks AS IS.
