If the design calls for 25 ohm coax, you will probably need 25 ohm
coax! I know of several designs where the coax is used as a balun or
a transformer, or an impedance multiplier. It may also be used as
a matching element in an impedance transform.
I don't think two 50 coax lines will work, as any mismatch in
length or velocity factor can set up a "cavity" mode (actually,
a shorted transmission line or "re-entrant" transmission line resonator)
which can cause serious in band "suck-outs".
This is especially true if the length of coax is approaching a significant
(> 1/8) portion of a wavelength of the operating frequency.
Joeld.
PS. What is the circuit?
