Tom Riddle. Suppose one of his other Horcruxes results in the 
formation of a new body or a re-bodied Riddle. If they met, would 
they get along like old pals?  Would they despise each other, since 
they would be in competition for the same thing (my opinion, yes).  
Maybe they could duel and destroy each other????  (Either must die 
at the hand of the other!)" <snip>


CH3ed:
Interesting scenario!! Well, I don't think we know what a soul piece 
is like yet. The one we see in CoS was unique in that it was also a 
memory (the diary was both a horcrux and a pensieve). So we don't 
know that a pure soul piece would be anything like the Riddle 
memory/soul piece. 

I believe that in one of JKR's interviews she said that had the 
Riddle memory/soul piece in CoS managed to suck all the life out of 
Ginny into itself it would have greatly strenghtened LV. So if 
anything should they (LV and his Riddle memory/soul piece) meet they 
wouldn't fight each other. LV would not destroy his own soul piece, 
and his soul piece wouldn't try to destroy the core soul piece (LV). 
Their futures depend on each other.

 I think if anything LV would update the Riddle memory/soul piece on 
what happened since the memory was made into a horcrux and then hide 
the diary somewhere safe to serve the function of a good and hidden 
horcrux... or he might remove the Riddle memory/soul piece from the 
fragile diary into something harder to destroy. 

"Either must die at the hand of the other" refers to Harry and LV 
and shouldn't apply here.

CH3ed likes hypothesizing alternative scenarios in the HP books!
