You don't need to tie them together in any way... Your KMS has no idea how many copies you bought, it just needs 25 machines to activate against it so it can activate itself against MS.

But the potential problem is how do I tie OEM licenses to a volume license since I'd use a volume license in my image? I don't want Windows 7 machines built with my image halting due to "licensing issues" as the KMS system doesn't realize it has enough licenses.
