Would it be ok to add a 4 Ohm Cab to a MarkBass MiniMark?
The MarkBass Combo says 8 Ohm min' - I am thinking that the 4 Ohm is greater than 8 Ohm - but just checking in case.
Would this type of pairing harm the extension cab or amp in the long term?

I've no experience of these, but I do know that 4 ohms is less than 8 ohms. If it says '8 ohms minimum', you can't do it and could damage your amp.

The Mini Mark is an 8 ohm combo so you can add an 8 ohm cab. You will blow the fuses if you add 4 ohm cab as you will be presenting your amp with 2.6 ohms!

I have a brilliant image in my mind of someone showing (presenting) this amp a 4 ohm cab, the amp looking at the cab, going "AAAAH!" and then the fuses blowing, preferably with a puff of smoke. :)
