Can the KingFisher Flex 96 KF and 96 Deep-Well heating blocks be used for a KingFisher Flex Magnetic Particle Processor with a 96 Deep-Well Head?

Yes, it comes with both the KingFisher Flex 96 KF Heating Block and KingFisher Flex 96 Deep-Well Heating Block.
I see that the KingFisher 24 Deep Well Head has a processing volume of 5 mL. Does that mean that I can process up to 5 mL of my sample?
No, the processing volume refers to the maximum volume that can be held in the 24 Deep Well plates. This incorporates the volume of binding buffers and beads, so when scaling up reaction volumes, it is important to make sure that the total volume does not exceed 5 mL.
