Question:
Is it permissible to combine the dhikr reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in ruku' and sujud, such that if one wants to lengthen the ruku' or sujud, he recites them?
Answer:
What is obligatory in ruku' and sujud is that in ruku' one says "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent) and repeats it, and in sujud one says "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) and repeats it, and one makes du'a' in sujud after reciting the tasbih, for he makes du'a'.

As for ruku', magnify the Lord in it, and as for sujud, increase in it the du'a', for it is likely that it will be answered for you,
أما الركوع فعظموا فيه الرب، وأما السجود فأكثروا فيه من الدعاء، فقمن أن يستجاب لكم،The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself
أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد،
