I don't know the exact rules. When the size of the normal text is \normalsize, then TeX uses \scriptsize for subscript, and \tiny for double subscript. Currently, LyX uses \tiny for both. I think that the rule should be: If current text size is <= \normalsize (and > \tiny), use \scriptsize/\tiny If current text size is the i-th size after \normalsize, increase the sizes above by i. If current text size is \tiny, use \tiny/\tiny
