Can a holographic codicil modify a traditionally-executed will? Thanks!

No, not in Florida. (Herb Jansen is a Texas attorney, so the "Yes!" actually only applied to Texas.)

The general rule is that a handwritten will or codicil is not valid in Florida. However, if a will or codicil is entirely handwritten but still executed properly, the will is not considered "holographic" and will be valid in Florida.
