PraNAms
Infinity cannot have any contact and by definition, there cannot be two infinities, since one limits the other. 
One can 'say' only an 'apparent' contact or apparently two infinities as in

Thank you for the post.

Regarding the naiyAyika, you wrote-
'In order for samyoga to occur between two entities, at least one of the
entities must be finite. This is because samyoga is a temporary
relationship that is born when one entity comes into contact with the
other. *Two infinite entities cannot temporarily be in contact with each
other*. Either they are permanently in contact or not at all. The self is
admitted to be all-pervading, therefore if the mind must come into contact
with the self, the mind cannot be all-pervading.'

How would the naiyAyika address the still stronger statement that
"If there are two entities X and Y which can come into temporary contact
with one another, then it follows that *both*  X and Y are necessarily
finite. If AtmA is *all-pervading*, it would always be in contact with even
a finite mind. Because wherever mind is, even that space/domain is going to
be pervaded by the all-pervading AtmA. So it follows that only if *both*
entities are finite and non-all-pervading, there is a possibility of them
coming into temporary contact with each other. "

But the naiyAyika holds the AtmA to be all-pervading ?

Thank you
Raghav
