in other words, is it bad to mix medium reducer and slow activator in the paint or must they match?
What if you're painting smaller parts and want more pot life?
Does reducer speed need to match activator speed?

No, they don't have to match and, in fact, many experienced painters mix different hardener and thinner speeds to suit a specific application. I even mix hardeners in a single job if the fast will be too fast while the normal might be a bit slow. And then I might use a super slow thinner, sometimes even retarded, to get the finish I want.
That said, the paint companies give you three speeds and, until you gain experience, it's probably safer to stick with the most suitable for your conditions. It's enough for the inexperienced to cope with just those variations and now Devilbiss have introduced different fluid tip and aircap combinations to help cope with temperature and humidity variations.
