Can I use EVP_DigestVerify* functions along with EVP_Verify* functions? I must not break compatibility with the old implementation which needs to support arbitrary MD algorithms.

You have to use the EVP_Digest* functions if you want to change the RSA
padding mode (or other parameters). This is not supported in the older
EVP_Verify* API.
